Overview

From Bach to Tupac, musicians through the ages speak out in this 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. Quotes offer individual takes on the music world itself, covering: other musicians; singing and the song; performing and rehearsing; success, fame and fortune; failure and rejection; music critics; and the music business. Readers should also see both the more playful and the more serious sides of the music masters in sections on love, passion, relationships and sex; ageing and death; nature and healing; humour and witticisms; religion and spirituality; and more. Special sections pay particular attention to the words of Ron Carter, T.S. Monk, the Beatles and Benny Golson.

I wouldn't have turned out the way I am if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against. Music rearranges your molecular structure. There is so much to be done on earth, do it soon! I cannot carry on the everyday life I am living; art demands ... sacrifice, too. Rest, diversion, amusement--only so that I can function more powerfully in my art. All music is folk music; I ain't never heard no horse sing a song. If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that.... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that.... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
