Howard Levy delivers a memoir as inventive and uncompromising as his music. With a storyteller’s eye and an improviser’s ear, he charts the path of a life built on risk, curiosity, and the relentless pursuit of sound. Across 88 vivid, interlocking stories spanning 450 pages and covering almost 70 years, Howard opens a window into the making of an artist and the art of making a life in music. He shares the unlikely serendipities that shaped him and led him to collaborate with Dolly Parton, Béla Fleck, Tito Puente, Donald Fagen, Jack Bruce, Jerry Garcia, Kenny Loggins, Paquito D’Rivera and many more. You’ll hear about adventures with these legends as well as a slew of unsung heroes, and come along on the many wild detours and unexpected turns that shaped the ride.
