His daughter Anna, who carried on her father's work with dedication and skill, remained there until her death in 1982.

"But he wasn't a direct teacher or mentor," says Joshua, who, remarkably, taught himself by playing along with old records while growing up in Berkeley, California. Dewey moved to New York City before...
