Bowie's Piano Man is the biography of Mike Garson - David Bowie's pianist and most prolific band member who played on 19 Bowie albums.
The book, written by Clifford Slapper, is a revised and updated paperback edition with six new chapters and is based on in-depth long conversations with Garson as well as with many of those he has worked with, such as Tony Visconti, Earl Slick, Trent Reznor, Gail Ann Dorsey, Gerry Leonard and Maggi Ronson and many more.
Also featured are over 50 photographs, many never seen before, of Garson with Bowie and others.
