It's the story of the first openly gay, HIV-positive jazz player; a deep look into the cloistered jazz culture that made such a status both transgressive and groundbreaking; and a profound exploration of how Hersch's two-month-long coma in 2007 led to his creating some of the finest, most direct, and most emotionally compelling music of his career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRemarkable, and at times lyrical, \u003ci\u003eGood Things Happen Slowly\u003c\/i\u003e is an evocation of the twilight of Post-Stonewall New York, and a powerfully brave narrative of illness, recovery, music, creativity, and the glorious reward of finally becoming oneself.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Crown Archetype","offers":[{"title":"Good Things Happen Slowly: A Life in and Out of Jazz | Fred Hersch | Hardcover | 9781101904343 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1780381","offer_id":49947790934168,"sku":"1780381","price":12.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71LwnVkIzpL.jpg?v=1789782023","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/good-things-happen-slowly-a-life-in-and-out-of-jazz","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
