I would like to report this text.... beautiful, funny, enlightening, well written.
it is above all an
autobiography written directly by the good Dizzy Gillespie.
it is set up as if it were a documentary film. To be clear, like the film
"Manhattan" [Accordi & Disaccordi] by Woody Allen, with the narration of the person concerned
interspersed, commented on, confirmed and/or contradicted by the intervention of
characters who had directly, indirectly, much or little
to do with him.
here are the details:
"TO BE OR NOT TO BOP - Dizzy Gillespie, the autobiography; with Al Fraser"
Ed. Minimum Fax 20 "euros" well spent! more than 650 pages to read
