Side Man

Work:: Side Man (S1749954408)

Warren Leight's autobiographical play Side Man won the 1999 Tony Award for 'Best Play'. Set in New York, Side Man is about jazz musicians from their heyday in the 1950's through to their dark years in the 1980's. This covered the period when many great musicians had to cobble together a mix of club dates, unemployment cheques and cash gigs to make a living. These musicians, known as sidemen, and their families made great sacrifices to serve their passion for music. Side Man includes jazz classics by Roy Eldridge, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Donald Byrd, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. BMG Records have issued a recording of the jazz classics from Side Man.
