How many people can tell stories about Dianne Reeves, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Parker, Billie Holidayat the same time telling about Arthur Fiedler, Pierre Monteux, and Isaac Stern? Only Charlie Burrell!The Life of Charlie Burrell is no simple story of the triumph of will over oppression, or of an angel who always did the right thing in the face of unending adversity and evil. Burrells stories weave a more complex tale of inner strength borne in the crucible of an amazing family, fired by intense ambition and hard work, and catalyzed by a series of mentorsboth black and whitefrom whom Charlie learns important lessons, both intended and unintended.Charlie's life story provides insight into the character of a man who spent almost 30 years pursuing his dream but sought neither fame nor fortune.If you love stories of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, tragedy and triumph, please click on the cover and begin to read Charlie's incredible journey!
