The Shake Keane Story

Beschreibung

Shake Keane (1927-97), musician and poet, was a trend-setting but troubled Caribbean icon. Born in St Vincent, he migrated to London in the early 1950s where he became an important figure in the free-form jazz scene. A return to his birthplace was blighted by politics, and his last decades were spent in New York City and Norway.
