{"product_id":"9781560253532","title":"Raise Up Off Me : A Portrait of Hampton Hawes","description":"\u003cp\u003eHampton Hawes [19281977] was one of jazz's greatest pianists.  Among his peers from California the self-taught Hawes was second only to Oscar Peterson.  At the time of his celebration as New Star of the Year by downbeat magazine (1956), Hawes was already struggling with a heroin addiction that would lead to his arrest and imprisonment, and the interruption of a brilliant career.  In 1963 President John F.  Kennedy granted Hawes an Executive Pardon.  In eloquent and humorous language Hampton Hawes tells of a life of suffering and redemption that reads like an improbable novel.  Gary Giddins has called it \"a major contribution to the literature of jazz. \" This book includes a complete discography and eight pages of photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thunder's Mouth Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763250999531,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":36.6,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781560253532-1.jpg?v=1781690068","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781560253532","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
