Hot Shot Heard 'round the World (Hardback) - Andy Kahn - Bog

In his entertaining and touching memoir The Hot Shot Heard 'Round the World, Andy Kahn relates the incisive and often back-stabbing stories involving his 1978 disco hit record "Hot Shot," the astounding rise and fall of the disco movement and the in-credible evolution of the recording industry from analog to digital.

He presents a wholly unique life that includes acting on stage at age nine, befriending actor Robert Preston, helming a pirate radio station at age eleven, the meteoric rise in his career as a jazz pianist, bandleader, musical archivist, jazz educator, arranger, producer for major record labels and as the co-owner of an influential recording studio in Philadelphia where artists like Stevie Wonder, Princess Grace of Monaco, The Gipsy Kings, Astrud Gilberto, Mayor Frank Rizzo, Bobby Rydell and The Dixie Hummingbirds came through its doors. Andy Kahn tells a deeply personal life story-one that's hardly over.
