A. J. Albany's recollection of life with her father, the great jazz pianist Joe Albany, is the story of one girl's unsentimental education. Joe played with the likes of Charles Mingus, Lester Young, and Charlie Parker, but between gigs he slipped into drug-induced obscurity. It was during these times that his daughter knew him best. After her mother disappeared, six-year-old Amy Jo and her charming, troubled father set up housekeeping in a seamy Hollywood hotel. While Joe finished a set in some red-boothed dive, chances were you'd find Amy curled up to sleep on someone's fur coat, clutching a 78 of Louis Armstrong's "Sugar Blues" or, later, a photograph of the man himself, inscribed, "To little Amy Jo, always in love with you - Pops."

Wise beyond her years and hip to the unpredictable ways of Old Lady Life at all too early an age, A. J. Albany guides us through the dope and deviance of the late 1960s and early 1970s in Hollywood's shadowy underbelly and beyond. What emerges is a raw, gripping, and surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a young girl trying to survive among the outcasts, misfits, and artists who surrounded her.

I have to be honest, I only got this book because of Lena Headey. Didn't even know who Joe Albany was! I do now, thanks to this book. Utterly fascinating, a story of drugs, addiction, depression and hope. If you like that type of stuff, do yourself a favor and read Low Down. I already know it's a book I'm going to reread and am thinking about picking up a hard copy of it too. The only drawback to having a celebrity reader - I had to keep reminding myself it wasn't Lena's story!

Sad, honest, fascinating
