Lee Berk is, of course, the man that the Berklee College of Music is named after. With that in mind, and when considering the wealth of talent that has blossomed in part because of that famed institution, Berk is well worthy of a good biography. “The book presents the story of descendants of poor Jewish immigrants from Russia who arrived on America’s shores in the 19th century, paving the way for Lawrence Berk (1908-1995) and his son Lee to realize their unique version of the American dream,” reads the press release. Not only would they realize it, but Berk would help others do the same.
