Book Description
"The tough sub-culture of drugs and the �60�s and the jazz experience." "And now it flows, the trickle of conscious participation as rivers flow to the cold pristine mix of the sea, and as the earth bleeds openly for brother and son, so goes the madness, so goes the war un-won, so goes the man undone, and so goes the Rushing." "The love of life propelled by music and the mounting struggle with self control and addiction, the inner conflict of the heart and the tempting pangs of oblivion." Into the catacombs, the dark desperation of the heroin addict, Louis Parker, assailed by a power beyond his control never lost site of his dream, believing that no matter what he would somehow find his way, find the path that would lead him back to the music and playing jazz. The inspiring story of the tough underground of drugs and jazz music in the 60�s and the "Crooked Road to the Big Time." Through the depths of heroin addiction and jazz music one man made it back and survived. Find out how he did it.
