The Quotable Musician: From Bach to Tupac

by Sheila E. Anderson

From Bach to Tupac, musicians through the ages speak out in this illuminating collection of quotations. Both the famous and the obscure from every genre of music�including classical, rock, Latin, country, blues, and hip hop�are celebrated in more than one thousand quotations sure to intrigue and delight. Quotes offer individual takes on the music world itself: other musicians; singing and the song; performing and rehearsing; success, fame, and fortune; failure and rejection; music critics; and the music business. Readers will also see both the more playful and the more serious sides of the music masters in sections on love, passion, relationships and sex; aging and death; nature and healing; humor and witticisms; religion and spirituality; and much more. Special sections pay particular attention to the words of Ron Carter, T.S. Monk, the Beatles, and Benny Golson.

Reviews

�Addictive reading! Sheila Anderson�s eye for the revealing quote is as keen as her ear for music.�

�James Gavin, author of Deep in Dream: The Long Night of Chet Baker

�Kids aren�t the only ones who say the darnedest things. Sheila Anderson has collected some gems of perspectives on music, and on life. Some are wry; some are irreverent; all are worth pondering�and savoring.�

�Ken Franckling, jazz columnist for United Press International

�A quick (but interesting) study, including some instant psychological profiles.�

�Amiri Baraka

�In a witty and informative fashion, this book reminds us that musicians�from both the past and present�have always had a peculiarly interesting perspective on the world.�

�Stanley Crouch
