About the Author:
Review:
Maurice Waller (1927–1989) was a composer, pianist, and the son of legendary musician Fats Waller.
Anthony Calabrese (1938–1996) was a freelance writer, journalist, and film producer.
Michael Lipskin is a veteran stride pianist and former protégé of Harlem jazz master Willie “the Lion” Smith.
"Fats was my first jazz piano influence and his spirit is still vital to my approach to jazz . . . Maurice Waller’s book about his father clarifies what has been for so long just story and rumor. Now I feel I know his legend from an authentic source—his son. Thanks, Maurice. Fats lives, indeed."—Dave Brubeck
"A delightful look into the Jazz Age."—Chicago Tribune
"Maurice Waller’s look-back at life with, or mostly without, his father is an affectionate and remarkably objective portrait of a lovable, exasperating, comedy-prone, joy-spreading, and excessively self-indulgent and talented jazz pianist, organist, and composer, who was also a warm and generous parent."—Christian Science Monitor
