Howard invites you behind the curtain of an extraordinary musical life. I Speak Music: Stories from My Improbable Life spans 88 vivid tales of discovery, risk, and reinvention—from smoky bar gigs to world stages, from creative failures to flashes of genius. With humor, candor, and deep craft, Levy shows how curiosity and persistence can turn a simple instrument into a passport.

Howard delivers a memoir as inventive and uncompromising as his music. With wit, precision, and an improviser’s ear, Levy charts a life built on risk, curiosity, and the relentless pursuit of sound—from Chicago barrooms to world stages, from failure’s edge to creative transcendence. These 88 interwoven stories reveal not just the making of an artist, but the art of making a life.

A rare, intimate portrait of genius in motion—now available as a signed first edition, exclusively here.
