My Sax Life: A Memoir (Latino Voices/Vidas)
Product ID: 76123783
Winner of 2005 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Winner of 2005 National Medal of Arts My Sax Life is the award-winning memoir of famed Cuban musician Paquito D'Rivera. A best-selling artist with more than thirty solo albums to his credit, D'Rivera has performed at the White House and the Blue Note, and with orchestras, jazz ensembles, and chamber groups around the world. Propelled by jazz-fueled high spirits, D'Rivera's story soars and spins from memory to memory in a collage of his remarkable life. D'Rivera recalls his early nightclub appearances as a child, performing with clowns and exotic dancers, as well as his search for artistic freedom in communist Cuba and his hungry explorations of world music after his defection. Opinionated but always good-humored, My Sax Life is a fascinating statement on art and the artist's life.

This book is an autobiography of the great musician Paquito D'Rivera
This book is an autobiography of the great musician Paquito D'Rivera. Paquito describes the many obstacles that he has endured and how he survived using the knowledge and love that he was given from his parents, the help of friends and the support from his wonderful wife Brenda. This is a very well written book that I highly recommend reading. Tony Marino
