Summary (Low)life, Charles Farrell lets the public in on his gripping, harrowing, rich, and often amusing life that transverses his path from a teenage jazz prodigy, to mob-involved boxing fight-fixer, to his business partnership with the legendary Floyd Patterson, to fleeing a mob contract on his life, and to bargaining his way back to a life where he returned to jazz and collaborated with all-time greats, including Ornette Coleman. Along the way, Farrell's many brushes with iconic celebrities provide readers with eye-opening and revealing encounters that will surprise and delight.
