Fab Four FAQ 2.0The Beatles’ Solo Years: 1970-1980by Robert Rodriguez

In the years following the 1960s, Beatles fans around the world were twice-stunned: in 1970, when their beloved group disbanded, and ten years later when the murder of John Lennon ended a decade of hope that somehow the Fab Four would reunite. Between those milestones were astounding highs and unfathomable lows. George Harrison’s 1971 benefit for the suffering of Bangladesh showed the world the possibilities of rock’s altruism, while Lennon asked the world to “imagine” universal peace before sitting out half the decade to raise his son. Ringo Starr, the most overlooked Beatle, carved himself a surprising niche in film before launching a string of hit singles. And Paul McCartney, widely seen as the instigator of the Fabs’ breakup, became one of rock’s most beloved performers, racking up record-breaking smashes that climaxed with a triumphant world tour in 1976.

Fab Four FAQ 2.0 picks up the story where the acclaimed Fab Four FAQ left off. Loaded with images of rare period ephemera, including periodicals, single sleeves, and movie stills, this is the first comprehensive biography of all four ex-Beatles. This book covers everything from their recording careers in the decade after the band’s dissolution to the musicians they played with, the bands they influenced, the manifestations of latter-day Beatlemania, and the constant clamor for reunion expressed by fans and – sometimes – by the four themselves.

Out of Our HeadsRock ’n’ Roll Before the Drugs Wore Offby George Case

Take a trip through rock ’n’ roll’s haziest, craziest period, beginning with the Beatles and Bob Dylan “turning on” in a New York hotel, and continuing on through two decades of wonderful, colorful, history-changing music. From psychedelic Woodstock warriors like Hendrix and the Jefferson Airplane to psycho-stereo adventurers Pink Floyd; from the post-hippie bliss of Neil Young and cosmic cowboy Willie Nelson to the druggy blues of Black Sabbath and the hemp-happy rhythms of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley, Out of Our Heads gleefully celebrates music’s most creative minds – and their chemically induced expansion. This is the rare book that is unafraid to bask in the groovy good times of rock ’n’ roll without the politically correct preaching that has helped stifle the party. To all those who have ever listened to Dark Side of the Moon on a pair of headphones and said “Wow”: this book is for you.

Beatles Gear All the Fab Four’s Instruments from Stage to Studioby Andy Babiuk

Just how did the Beatles get those fantastic sounds?

How it can be told: Here at last in this revised edition the story of all the instruments and gear that the Fab Four used from their earliest days to the group’s break-up.

Beatles Gear details exactly which guitars, drums, amplifiers and keyboards the Beatles used at the key points of their relatively brief but entirely revolutionary career – from the formation of the Quarry Men in the 1950s to the dissolution of the Beatles in 1970. It provides a fascinating fresh insight into Beatles history from an entirely new viewpoint, and along the way many myths are exploded and dozens of stories told for the first time.

John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s move from cheap early instruments to the pick of the 1960s technology is carefully and entertainingly documented in an easy-to-read narrative, fully illustrated with many unseen photographs, a cache of rare memorabilia, and a unique collection of specially-photographed actual Beatles instruments. This landmark book is perfect for the fan absorbed by music rather than hairstyles, for the tribute-band member with an eye for details, for any reader with an abiding interest in the 1960s, and now for Beatles Rockband fans wanting to find out more about the gear they experience in the game!

60 Years of FenderSix Decades of the Greatest Electric Guitarsby Tony Bacon

The latest addition to Tony Bacon’s acclaimed series of guitar books, 60 Years of Fender gives a year-by-year history of the most successful electric guitar maker. In 1950, Leo Fender introduced to the world the solidbody electric guitar – the instrument known as the Telecaster. He soon added two more classics: the Precision Bass (1951) and the Stratocaster (1954). Fender’s sleek, adapt-able guitars have since fueled modern music – from country to rock – and have been heard in the hands of virtually every guitarist of note, from Buddy Holly to Kurt Cobain, from Eric Clapton to John Mayer. Illustrated with an unrivaled gallery of color photographs of instruments, players, and memorabilia.

From the earliest “lap steels” that reshaped the sound of Hawaiian music, through the “Spanish-neck” models that created a new voice in the jazz world and powered the early rock and rollers, and on to the solidbody models that shattered conven-tional ideas of guitar design and guitar music, all of the classic and historically important models are displayed and discussed by guitar experts George Gruhn and Walter Carter.

Raisin’ Cain: The Wild and Raucous Story of Johnny Winterby Mary Lou SullivanForeword by Johnny Winter

Author Mary Lou Sullivan sat with Johnny Winter for hours of exclusive, no-holds-barred interviews, covering the guitar slinger’s entire career. From toughing it out in Texas to his appearance at Woodstock, his affair with Janis Joplin, his stadium-filling tours, and washing out on drugs and the temptations of the road before finally fulfilling his dream of becoming a 100-percent pure bluesman, resurrecting the career of Muddy Waters, and winning a Grammy Award for his effort, this is a raucous roller coaster of story.

Rolling Stone magazine has called Johnny Winter one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He has jammed with guitar heavies Hendrix, Clapton, and the Allman Brothers, and has paved the way for fellow Texas superstars Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZ Top. Still on the road, playing hundreds of gigs a year to his devoted, adoring fans, Johnny, like this book, is the real deal.

Mary Lou Sullivan (Connecticut) is a music journalist whose 30-year career began at a dinner with Bruce Springsteen. She first interviewed Johnny Winter in 1984, a meeting that led to a close rapport that has only deepened through the years.

Talkin’ ’Bout a RevolutionMusic and Social Change in Americaby Dick Weissman

Talkin’ ’Bout a Revolution is a comprehensive guide to the relationship between American music and politics. Music expert Dick Weissman opens with the dawn of American history, then moves to the book’s key focus: 20th-century music – songs by and about Native Americans, African-Americans, women, Spanish-speaking groups, and more. Unprecedented in its approach, the book offers a multidisciplinary discussion that is broad and diverse, and illuminates how social events impact music as well as how music impacts social events. Weissman delves deep, covering everything from current Native American music to “music of hate” – racist and neo-Nazi music – to the music of the Gulf wars, union songs, patriotic and antiwar songs, and beyond. A powerful tool for professors teaching classes about politics and music and a stimulating, accessible read for all kinds of appreciators, from casual music fans to social science lovers and devout music history buffs.

We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001by Eric Davidson

Nirvana, the White Stripes, Hole, the Hives – all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and hard luck, played for throngs of fans in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 tracks the inspiration and beautiful destruction of this largely undocumented movement, the last generation of punks and rockers to conquer city after city without the diluting force of the Internet.

The majority of bands that populate this book – the Dwarves, the Gories, the Supersuckers, the Mummies, Rocket from the Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Muffs, and the Donnas among them – gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did have was free liquor, good drugs, guilt-free sex, and a crazy good time. Truly, this is the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock ’n’ roll, one whose hangover can still be felt in bars and clubs everywhere in the world.

Playing (Less) Hurt:An Injury Prevention Guide for Musiciansby Janet Horvath

2009 IPPY Gold Medal in the health category from the Independent Publishers Book Awards for playing (Less Hurt)

Making music at any level is a powerful gift. While musicians have endless resources for learning the basics of their instruments and the theory of music, few books have explored the other subtleties and complexities that musicians face in their quest to play with ease and skill. With alarming frequency, musicians – amateur and professional – experience serious injuries. The demands of solitary practice, hectic rehearsal schedules, challenging repertoire, performance pres-sures, awkward postures, and other physical strains have left a trail of injured, hearing-impaired, and frustrated musicians who have had few resources to guide them.

Playing (Less) Hurt, a readable and comprehensive reference work, addresses this need with specific tools to avoid and alleviate injury. Impressively researched, the book is invaluable not only to musicians, but also to the coaches and medi-cal professionals who work with them. Everyone from dentists to orthopedists, audiologists to neurologists, massage therapists and trainers will benefit from Janet Horvath’s coherent account of the physiology and psyche of a practicing musician. Writing with knowledge, sympathetic insight, humor, and aplomb, Horvath has created an essential resource for all musicians who want to play better and feel better.

Bach’s Keyboard MusicA Listener’s Guideby Victor LedererUnlocking the Masters Series No. 21

Along with Beethoven’s sonatas and the purely idiomatic works for piano of Chopin and Debussy, the solo keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach represents the heart of the pianist’s repertory; in the more specialized field of music for the organ, Bach’s primacy seems beyond challenge. This listener’s guide to Bach’s music for the keyboard provides the interested amateur with a close but non-technical look at these two crucial parts of the master’s oeuvre. The composer’s tendency to work exhaustively in tightly structured formats – such as the forty-eight preludes and fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier – provides a natural framework for this study; but the power, beauty, high polish, and occasionally the sheer strange-ness of Bach’s imagination are carefully examined as well.

The Secret Life of Musical NotationDefying Interpretive Traditionsby Roberto Poli

The original discoveries presented in The Secret Life of Musical Notation: Defying Interpretive Traditions have generated one fun-damental conclusion: the long-standing interpretation of several of the markings commonly encountered in music as early as the 1770s may fail to reveal their original intentions, being the result of misconstrued readings. These misinterpretations are due precisely to traditions themselves, which are liable for reifying hearsay as accepted knowledge. Restoring the original meaning of signs and symbols in the scores can bring us closer to practices that have not gained access to musicians’ vocabulary because of decades of misinformed playing and fallacious scholarship, giving us greater interpretive insight.

Many contemporary musicians who have read the book believe the concepts expressed in it will have a strong impact on the way we read music. They claim that applying these concepts has made them think more thoroughly about the role of musical notation and the way they approach the printed page.

Maria CallasA Musical Biographyby Robert Levine

“It is a pleasure to turn to Robert Levine’s Maria Callas: A Musical Biography, which treats this very serious artist with the seriousness she deserves. It is a book aimed at both the professional and the lay listener.” – Tim Page, The Washington Post

Maria Callas was almost as famous her personal life – her jet-setting, her staggering weight loss, her tigress-like tem-perament, her affair with Aristotle Onassis – as she was for her singing. Of Greek parentage, the New York-born Callas was the most influential soprano of the 20th century, reviving a school of singing – bel canto – that had been shunted aside, if not forgotten, for 75 years. Unlike most of her generation of sopranos, she was a superb actress both vocally and physically: her voice encompassed many colors and she embodied each character she portrayed. After seeing or hearing her in a role, it was said, it was difficult to imagine another singer attempting it, so fierce was her individual stamp.

This profusely illustrated book covers Callas’s life and career without dwelling on unimportant details; the facts are all here, but it is primarily a musical biography. The final third of the book is devoted to an analysis of the tracks on the two CDs that accompany the text – in short, they describe what made Callas unique, what made Callas Callas. Her voice was controversial; there were those who had negative visceral reactions to it, finding it ugly and weird. Millions of others worshiped it – and her. Listening to her now, more than 30 years after her early death at 54, there is no real argument: listen for yourselves to La Divina (“the divine one”), as the Italians dubbed her, and be amazed.

Working with Bernsteinby Jack Gottlieb

As they engage with one of the 20th century’s most provocative musical personalities, studies of the multifaceted Leonard Bernstein will always proffer new insights into the human condition. But this is the first book on Bernstein to be written by a composer, and the first by a colleague and friend who worked intimately with the maestro for more than three decades. Jack Gottlieb has been described as Bernstein’s amanuensis and as the preeminent Bernstein scholar. This memoir presents fresh, sensitive, and revealing information about the everyday life of the maestro in Part One, featuring reminiscences peppered with anecdotes, humor, and stories by others. Part Two includes Gottlieb’s commentaries and analyses of Bernstein’s works, which have appeared in program notes for concerts by many of the world’s orchestras, as jacket notes for recordings, and as articles in journals and elsewhere, beginning with the New York Philharmonic tribute “A Valentine for Leonard Bernstein” on February 13, 1961. Preceded by updated remarks, this collection allows those seeking firsthand information on Bernstein’s compositions to find all of Gottlieb’s valuable scholarship in one place.

Jack Gottlieb (New York, NY) is a composer who has written for the concert hall, the theater, and the synagogue.

From 1958 to 1966 Dr. Gottlieb was Leonard Bernstein’s assistant at the New York Philharmonic. He is the senior member of the Leonard Bernstein Office, the editor of three Bernstein books, consultant for the Bernstein estate, and an editor of Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, the Bernstein newsletter. Leonard Bernstein: A Jewish Legacy, a CD on the Naxos label (2003) with Gottlieb as producer, annotator, and performer, has been hailed as “the most illuminating Bernstein recording in years.”

The Sound of MusicThe Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway MusicalMusic by Richard RodgersLyrics by Oscar Hammerstein IIBook by Howard Lindsay and Russel CrouseSuggested by The Story of the Trapp Family Singers

This stellar collaboration of songwriters Rodgers & Hammerstein and librettists Lindsay & Crouse was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually cap-tures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theater.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway MusicalMusic by Richard Rodgers Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theater still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant Oklahoma!

She Always Knew How: Mae WestA Personal Biographyby Charlotte Chandler

Actress, playwright, screenwriter, and iconic sex symbol Mae West (1893-1980) created a scandal and a sensation on Broadway with her play Sex in 1926. Convicted of obscenity, she was sentenced to ten days in prison. She went to jail a convict but emerged a star. Later, in Hollywood, she was the number one box-office attraction during the 1930s and saved Paramount Studios from bankruptcy.

Her films included some notorious one-liners – which she wrote herself – that have become part of Hollywood lore. But behind the clever quips was Mae’s deep desire, decades before the word “feminism” was in the news, to see women treated equally with men. She saw through the double standard of the time that permitted men to do things that women would be ruined for doing. Her cause was sexual equality, and she was shrewd enough to know that it was perhaps the ultimate battleground.

In She Always Knew How, Charlotte Chandler draws on a series of extensive interviews that she conducted with Mae West just months before the star’s death. Chandler also spoke with actors and directors who knew and worked with Mae, the man with whom she lived for the last twenty-seven years of her life, and her close assistant. Their insights enrich this fascinating book.

Notes on a Lifeby Eleanor Coppola

Eleanor Coppola’s first book, Notes on the Making of Apocalypse Now, was hailed as “one of the most revealing of all firsthand looks at the movies” (Los Angeles Herald Examiner). Now the author brings the same honesty, insight, and wit to this absorbing account of the next chapters in her life.

In this new work we travel back and forth with her from the swirling center of the film world to the intimate heart of her family. She offers a fascinating look at the vision that drives her husband, Francis Ford Coppola, and describes her daughter Sofia’s rise to fame with the film Lost in Translation. Even as she visits faraway movie sets and attends par-ties, she is pulled back to pursue her own art but is always focused on keeping her family safe. The death of their son Gio in a boating accident in 1986 and her struggle to cope with her grief and anger lead to a moving exploration of her deepest feelings as a woman and as a mother.

Written with a quiet strength, Eleanor Coppola’s powerful portrait of the conflicting demands of family, love, and art is at once very personal and universally resonant.

The Gentleman Press AgentFifty Years in the Theatrical Trenches with Merle Debuskeyby Robert Simonson

From his unlikely start as a Jewish All-American and “three-letter man” in segregated Baltimore, Merle Debuskey was for fifty years – beginning just after World War II and ending in the mid-’90s – New York theater’s top publicist, handling more Broadway shows than any press agent in Broadway history. He was Joe Papp’s right-hand man for thirty years, and was the first mouthpiece for legendary nonprofits Circle in the Square and Lincoln Center Theater. He was the unseen player who, with Papp, fought Robert Moses, ensuring that Shakespeare in the Park remained free; made sure How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying kept its title; saved Zero Mostel’s life; housed redbaiters target John Henry Faulk, befriending the blacklisted; manhandled George C. Scott and Mort Saul; and romanced Kim Stanley, all the while puffing on his pipe, banging away at his old manual typewriter, and never seeming to break a sweat. He was Broadway’s last gentleman press agent.

The Anatomy of a Broadway Musicalby Stuart Ostrow

Musicals are created by a disparate group of composers, lyricists, book writers, producers, directors, choreographers, theater owners, investors, general managers, casting directors, press agents, musical directors, orchestrators, dance arrangers, stage managers, and assistants. In The Anatomy of a Broadway Musical, producer Stuart Ostrow examines all of these in an attempt to fathom the musical’s miraculous development, from the idea to the stage. Ostrow evaluates both the tangible and intangible essentials of a musical that make it fly or remain earthbound – music, lyrics, book, dance, direction, scenery, costumes, lighting, actors, energy, lunacy, drama, show savvy, and exhilaration. Master these essentials, and you can pick up your Tony Award.

While the book is a celebration of the Broadway musical, it is also a meditation on what has caused its decline. It contains many personal references and anecdotes, some tragic, some comic, and others simply human. As the author shares his journey, he illuminates the character and ambitions of many of those he met along the way.

The Golden Age of Conductorsby John W. Knight

“If you measure a conductor through technique, a lot of conduc-tors can keep an orchestra together, but that doesn’t mean it is conducting. Conducting means to inspire an orchestra with such a convincing idea about the piece that all these outstanding musi-cians believe you.” – Kurt Masur

Also included are interviews on the art of conducting with Pierre Boulez, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Kurt Masur, Herbert Blomstedt, and Richard Hickox as well as interviews with professional musicians who remi-niscence about playing under the batons of these great maestros. The author’s comprehensive analysis and interpretive suggestions of the great maestros will truly inspire musicians at all levels.


Dr. John Knight (Oberlin, OH) is professor of Conducting and Ensembles and Music Education at Oberlin Conservatory. He has been a member of the Conservatory faculty since 1978 and received his baccalaureate degree from the University of Central Arkansas and the master’s and doctoral degrees from Louisiana State University.
