Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten's inspiring parable of the importance of music and the threats that it faces in today's world. A VINTAGE ORIGINALWe may not realize it as we listen to the soundtrack of our lives through tiny earbuds, but music and all that it encompasses is disappearing all around us. In this fable-like story three musicians from around the world are mysteriously summoned to Nashville, the Music City, to join together with Victor to do battle against the "Phasers," whose blinking "music-cancelling" headphones silence and destroy all musical sound. Only by coming together, connecting, and making the joyful sounds of immediate, "live" music can the world be restored to the power and spirit of music.

Wild Tales by Graham Nash - a classic rock memoir of the legendary Hollies front man and member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & YoungGraham Nash, lead singer and principal songwriter of the Hollies, then member of supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, made the incredible and possibly unique journey from 60s Manchester to Swinging London to sunny California. And along the way he created many of the iconic songs which defined a generation that began with the opening salvos of the British Rock revolution and ended with the last embers of Woodstock: 'Bus Stop', 'Carrie Anne', 'Marrakesh Express', 'Teach Your Children', among many others.In this candid and riveting autobiography Nash tells it all: growing up in poverty in postwar Manchester, founding the Hollies with schoolfriend Allan Clarke and the incredible success that followed, friendships with all the great British bands of the 60s including the Beatles, the Stones and the Kinks, decamping to America and becoming the lover and muse of Joni Mitchell (for whom he wrote 'Our House'),achieving superstardom with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Neil Young.From London to Laurel Canyon, the story is extraordinary: the love, the sex, the jealousy, the drugs, and the magical music-making. With an amazing range of characters including John Lennon, Mama Cass, Janis Joplin, Elton John, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, not to mention Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama, Wild Tales is one of the great rock and rock stories which befits someone who has been inducted not once but twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.This book will be adored by Graham Nash fans and takes its rightful place in the pantheon of classic music memoirs alongside Book Dylan's Chronicles, Keith Richards' Life and Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace.Graham Nash was born in Blackpool in 1942 and brought up in Salford. He was cofounder with his schoolfriend Allan Clarke of the Hollies - one of the most successful British pop groups of the 1960s for whom he was lead-singer and one of the principal songwriters. In 1968 he left the UK to live in California, where he became part of the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash (later, after Neil Young joined, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). Unusually he has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for the Hollies and for CSNY, and in 2010 he received the OBE. He is noted for his political and charity work (he played Occupy Wall Street in 2011), is a serious photographer, and has homes in California and Hawaii.

Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir. Gordon takes us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and '90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, and the Alternative revolution in popular music the band helped usher in-paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines what partnership means-and what happens when it dissolves.

Viv Albertine is one of a handful of original punks who changed music, and the discourse around it, forever. In Clothes ... Music ... Boys a story hitherto dominated by male voices is recast through the eyes of one of the most glamorous, uncompromising and iconic figures of the time. After forming The Flowers of Romance with Sid Vicious in 1976, Viv joined The Slits and made musical history as one of the first generation of punk bands. Here is the story of what it was like to be a girl at the height of punk: the sex, the drugs, the guys, the tours, the hard lessons learnt and those not considered. From Madonna to Lady Gaga, fashion to feminims, Viv Albertine has influenced a range of exceptional artists. Here, before and beyond the break-up of The Slits in 1982, is the full story of a life lived unscripted, with foolishness, bravery and great emotional honesty. A memoir full of raw and uncompromising anecdote and opinion, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys is an unflinching account of a life lived on the frontiers of experience, by a true pioneer.

Bogen er en vejledning i justering af rørblade til saxofon og klarinet - til begyndere og øvede. Der er kun to tekniske hindringer, hvis man vil spille saxofon eller klarinet. Man skal råde over et instrument, der er tæt. Og man skal have et rørblad, som er klargjort, balanceret og justeret til mundstykke og musiker. Ellers bliver det svært. Et rørblad er ALDRIG i optimal tilstand, når man køber det. Så man må selv lære at justere det. Det bliver lettere at spille, når du kan. Så kan du koncentrere dig helt om musikken. Justering ligner måske heksekunst, mend det kan gøres med en smule værktøj og lidt øvelse. Færre blade skal kasseres, så denne vejledning tjener sig selv ind gennem sparede rørblade og større glæde ved din egen musik.

Dette er bagsiden af bogen – og medaljen, fordi her er der intet nyt under sofaen. Nej, det nye er inde i bogen, og hvis DU, kære læser, skal få lyst til at åbne den, og ikke mindst læse i den, bør jeg nok fortælle lidt om den legendariske Kalle Mathiesen, og komme med et uddrag: "Kalle Math’Ismen er troen på, at du skal turde tvivle på det, du er allermest sikker på. Fordi evigheden ligger inde i pauserne imellem tankerne. Det eneste, vi kan være sikre på her i verden, er, at vi ikke kan være sikre på noget som helst, fordi alting forandrer sig hele tiden. Tag alle de største katastrofer i verden: 9/11, ISIS, Hitlers Tyskland, Cirkusrevyen, Nick og Jay, Justin Bieber – ja, jeg kunne blive ved. Alle disse katastrofer har dét til fælles, at de er skabt i hovedet på en mand eller kvinde, der aldrig turde tvivle på deres sikkerhed. Når man lukker sig for den evige, kosmiske forandring, lukker man sig også om sig selv. Som den stortalende sønderjyske misforståelse med storheds-vanvid, jeg er, spørger folk mig tit: "Hvordan kan du holde dig selv ud?" Jeg svarer altid: "Den eneste grund til, at jeg kan holde mig selv ud, er, at det er mig, der betaler for alle mine drinks."

Denne bog behandler emnet musikvidenskab både som sag, dvs. som forskningsområde, og som fag, forstået som studium. Den er i første række skrevet til brug for fagstuderende ved universiteterne. I den forbindelse er sigtet delvis kritisk, idet der i Danmark ikke gives en entydigt musikvidenskabelig grunduddannelse. En sådan plæderer bogen for. Dens indføring i sagsemnet musikvidenskab afgrænses af udvalgte synsvinkler, som er bestemt af personlige hovedinteresser og prioriteringer. Det er disciplinens traditionsgivne kerneområder der behandles. Forfatteren appellerer derfor til at hans udspil føres videre, af kolleger fra andre forsknings-felter eller gennem kritik – I fagets og sagens tjeneste.

Miles Davis is one of the most revered artists of the last 100 years, regardless of the art form. Credited with ushering in a new age of jazz more than once, Davis’s unique perception of the world is best known through his memorable music and is arguably more popular now than ever. In later years, he earned additional acclaim as an abstract painter, with many of his originals selling for thousands of dollars and continuing to escalate in value.  But his sense of personal expression didn’t stop with music and painting. Miles Davis’s restless, rebellious personality found an additional creative outlet through his interest in fashion.  From the big shouldered, pleated suits of the forties, to the Ivy League look of the fifties, the sleek Italian suits of the sixties and the more avant-garde looks of the last twenty years of his life, Miles Davis blazed a fashion trail whose impact is still being felt today.MILESSTYLE is the first book to examine Miles Davis, the artist, using himself as a creative canvas.  MILESSTYLE features observations from notable fashionistas like Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Ferry and Lloyd Boston, as well as friends and bandmates like Quincy Jones, Ron Carter, Clark Terry and more regarding his sartorial evolution as well as what his style said about the music and the man.  

Bogen er dels en personlig skildring af det ofte dramatiske liv som underviser gennem en vanskelig periode i slut-tresserne og begyndelsen af halvfjerdserne, dels et kig ind bag kulisserne i et organisatorisk amatørmusikliv, hvor mange uforudsete ting kan ske. Bogen er baseret på en mængde personligt samlede dokumenter, der rækker helt tilbage til 1950erne, og der forekommer derfor en lang række citater fra denne samling, som er med til at belyse de forskellige temaer i bogen. Derfor betegnelsen: En dokumentarisk skildring. Bidrag fra indlæg i Helsingør Dagblad spiller en stor rolle i bogen.Temaerne, der omhandles, er bl.a.: Musikalsk baggrund, studietid, tiden som underviser på de to gymnasier, musicals på Espergærde Gymnasium, musiklivet generelt i Helsingør kommune, de forskellige ensembler som han har været aktiv i, mødet med de talrige professionelle musikere og sangere og de mange amatører og gymnasieelever.Bogens røde tråd er: Fællesskab gennem musik, hvor mennesker yder sammen uanset alder, køn, uddannelse og social status.
