A
renowned
musician
in
his
85th
year
explores
the
nature
of
wisdom,
how
we
learn
to
recognize
it,
and
how
we
pass
it
forward.In
this
entrancing
memoir,
timeless
questions
about
music
and
life
are
explored
by
a
master
musician
in
his
85th
year.
The
stern
father
who
built
an
empire
of
words;
the
solipsistic
uncle
whose
hypnotic
voice
calmed
millions:
these
are
just
early
glimpses
of
Mathieu's
memory.
Soon
he
is
crimped
into
an
overhead
baggage
rack
in
Stan
Kenton's
tour
bus
as
scenes
of
scotch-soaked
melancholy
play
out
below;
he
is
sharing
late-night
quarts
of
ice
cream
with
Duke
Ellington
in
his
hotel
room;
he
is
co-inventing
improvisational
theater
at
Chicago's
Second
City
with
Alan
Arkin
and
Mike
Nichols;
he
is
receiving
the
title
of
Sufi
sheikh
from
an
heir
of
Inayat
Khan;
and
he
is
gleaning
wisdom
from
a
woman
bundling
firewood
in
Bali.In
prose
at
once
wry
and
lyrical,
Mathieu
carries
the
reader
through
the
adventures
and
misadventures
of
a
scintillating
and
deeply
examined life.
