Publisher's summary

Paquito D'Rivera nacio en La Habana el 4 de Junio de 1948, y fue eso que suelen llamar un "nino prodigo", pues empezo su carrera musical a los seis anos, gracias a la intuicion ayuda de un padre musico. Desde entonces, ya en plena madurez artistica, ha sido reconocido y aclamado, actuado en muchos escenarios del mundo, junto a grandes figuras del Jazz, la musica popular y clasica.

Ganador multiple de Grammy en diversas categorias, en el 2003 la prestigiosa escuela Berklee de Boston le otorga un doctorado Honoris Causa. En ese mismo ano gana un premio nacional de persodismo por su articulo, "Un Premio Nobel para la Mona Chita", y en el 2004 publica en Espana su primera novela, Oh, La Habana!

Mi Vida Saxual, escrito con un estilo ameno, humoristico, agil, lleno de anecdotas y opiniones personales, es la cronica de una epoca, de una ciudad, de una generacion. Es un libro de memorias pero no a partir del cansancio de una vida hecha, sino el recuento de las vivencias mas importantes de un hombre en plena exaltacion de su carrera artistica: un alto en el camino para colocar las experiencas en su sitio, y compartirlas con amigos-admiradores-lectores, y es tambien una declaracion de principios ante los demas, ante la historia. "El hombre del saxofon" no solo es el arquetipo del musico cubano, sino tambien el ser humano que ha tratado de ser fiel a si mismo en el marasmo de la historia que le toco vivir.


In this book, Paquito counts on nostalgia, tenderness, and humor. Considered by experts to be one of the best jazz instrumentalists in the world, his groups have included the Paquito D'Rivera Big Band, the Quinteto Paquito D'Rivera, and the Assembly Triangle.
