Description

 							
  
  No musician has
lived a more transformational, or more tragic, life than Charlie Parker, one of the most talented and influential
figures of the twentieth century. From the start of his career in the late 1930s, Parker was a new kind of American
artist: a revolutionary musician who internalized all of popular music and blew it back through his alto saxophone "at
the tempo of emergency"—even as he wrestled with a drug addiction that would ultimately contribute to his death
at thirty-four.
  
  Yet no writer has fully captured the arc and texture of Parker's personal story . . .
until now. Kansas City Lightning, the first in a two-volume life of Parker by Stanley Crouch, draws on decades of
original interviews with peers, collaborators, and family members to reveal Parker as he emerged from the
landscapes—literal and artistic—that he inhabited. A precocious child, shy yet self-possessed, Charlie
ventured early into the nightlife of wide-open Depression Kansas City, a veritable stomping ground for such bandleaders
as Walter Page, Bennie Moten, and Moten's successor, Count Basie, the king of Kansas City swing. Inspired by
saxophonists Lester Young and Chu Berry, trumpeter Roy Eldridge, and his mentor Buster Smith, Parker endured initial
humiliation on the bandstand—yet persevered until he mastered the idiom and began to transcend it.
  
 
Kansas City Lightning follows Parker from the "freak shows" and "spook breakfasts" of late-night Kansas City, to the
segregated union halls of Chicago, and finally to New York's Harlem ballrooms. Most intimately, it brings us into young
Charlie Parker's family circle, as he plunged headlong into a very adult world—lured by both music and drugs,
torn between his oddly protective mother and Rebecca Ruffin, the impressionable young woman whose romance with Charlie
is at the bittersweet heart of this story.
  
  With the musical wisdom of a lifetime jazz scholar, the
cultural insights of an indispensable social critic, and the narrative skill of a writer at the height of his powers,
Crouch brings Parker back to glorious, surprising, and deeply moving life.
