From Nock's childhood in Ngaruawahia and Nelson in the 1940s and his teenage adventures on the road with the Fabulous Flamingoes to his gigs with music legends--including John Handy, Yusef Lateef, and Dionne Warwick--and his founding of the pioneering fusion band the Fourth Way, this account not only tells the story of a volatile and creative man, but also highlights Nock's stellar international career. Containing an analysis of the pianist's compositions and recordings as well as an accompanying DVD, this chronicle offers rich insights for musicians and fans alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Meehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0864736363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780864736369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Norman Meehan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483730751743,"sku":"9780864736369","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bf8afcd-ea83-4f09-9e73-13a76f9c4a9c.jpg?v=1778040284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/serious-fun-norman-meehan-9780864736369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
