'A roadmap for a new generation'VOGUE'Radical, funny and fearless'VANITY FAIRTHE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLERAn electric, searing memoir by the original Riot Grrrl and legendary frontwoman of Bikini Kill and Le TigreKathleen Hanna's rallying cry to feminists echoed far and wide through the punk scene of the 1980s, '90s, and beyond. Her band, Bikini Kill, embodies this iconic time, and today their gutsy, radical lyrics of anthems like 'Rebel Girl' and 'Double Dare Ya' are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from?In Rebel Girl, Hanna's raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood home, to her formative college years in Olympia, Washington, and on to her first years on tour, fighting hard for gigs and for her band. As Hanna makes blindingly clear, being in a 'girl band', especially a punk girl band, in those years was not a simple or a safe prospect. Male violence and antagonism threatened at every turn, and surviving as a band took limitless amounts of grit and bravery.But the relationships she developed during those years buoyed her - including with her bandmates Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox, and Billy Karren; her friendship with Kurt Cobain; and her introduction to Joan Jett - and they were a testament to how the true punk world nurtured and cared for its own.Hanna opens up about falling in love with Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys and her debilitating battle with Lyme disease, and she brings us behind the scenes of her later bands, Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin. She also writes candidly about the Riot Grrrl movement and its decline, documenting with love its grassroots origins but critiquing its later exclusivity.In an uncut voice all her own, Hanna reveals the darkest, hardest times along with the most joyful - and how it all fuelled her revolutionary art, from the 1980s to today.

In Chasin' the Sound: Learning Jazz Improvisation through Historical Models, authors Brian Levy and Keith Waters use solos by famous jazz musicians to outline a melodic and rhythmic vocabulary of jazz improvisation. In contrast to mainstream approaches based on rote memorization and generic chord/scale pedagogies, Chasin' the Sound encourages hands-on learning with activities that highlight the intangible yet key aesthetics of sound, groove, and feel. By studying jazz fundamentals alongside well-known examples of those fundamentals in practice, students and instructors will gain a broader and more meaningful understanding of the art of improvisation. In addition to exploring the mechanics of what to play, Levy and Waters offer ideas on how to play the essential roles of timekeeping, comping, and soloing, and how to develop routines within these roles. Supported by classroom-tested exercises and hundreds of original annotated music examples, students will learn the core rhythmic and melodic tenets of jazz while studying and playing along with the improvised solos and accompaniments of Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Sarah Vaughan, Bud Powell, Clifford Brown, Wes Montgomery, Miles Davis, Red Garland, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, Paul Chambers, John Coltrane, and Sonny Rollins, among many others. Throughout, Levy and Waters show that great soloists and accompanists do not in fact have an unlimited vocabulary but rather use limited melodic and rhythmic resources as modules for infinite recombination. Written for all experience levels, Chasin' the Sound is a substantial workout for students and instructors to build chops and knowledge along the way.

The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller A Financial Times, Telegraph and Waterstones Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize What if music holds the key to healing our minds and bodies? Music as Medicine is the revelatory new book from the million-copy bestselling author of The Organized Mind. 'Fascinating' OBSERVER 'Essential' WALL STREET JOURNAL 'Intriguing' GUARDIAN _ Can listening to music boost our cognitive function? Do pop songs hold the key to treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's? And why might Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' help cure PTSD? We are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician offers a confounding tour through the emerging science of music as medicine - revealing how it can calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. _ 'Levitin presents a strong, evidence-based case for how music heals, alleviating pain, reducing anxiety and even aiding recovery from strokes or Parkinson's. It's a compelling blend of anecdote and rigorous science, revealing in detail how music harnesses the brain.' Books of the Year, FINANCIAL TIMES 'For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know this happens to me and many people, I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin, in this latest book, Music as Medicine, has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.' PAUL MCCARTNEY

How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power

Music as Medicine

'The pages sing in this beautiful book.' Bono'Moving and lyrical, The Forest is the Path is an imaginative and deeply personal journey of self-discovery.' The Irish TimesYou're falling through time so all I can do is fall with you.The numbness had set in long before I sat at your bedside. But even with senses impaired as the flight touches down at Belfast City I can somehow still feel the screeching of wheels on tarmac scorching something deep into me.Gary Lightbody's phenomenal companion to Snow Patrol's No.1 Album of the same name is a remarkable work of narrative writing.The Forest is the Path explores some of the main themes of the album; time, home, love, death and life, and serves as a prequel to the record, telling the story of his dad Jack's death. It tracks the journey he went on - a journey whose end seemed to unlock a part of Gary that had been dormant until he started to write songs again.This is the book that emerged from that time.'[An] astoundingly poetic book' - Pandora Sykes'Raw...and extraordinary.' - Nihal Arthanayake'Lightbody's propose is fluid and unflinchingly honest' - The Irish Times'Absolutely beautiful.' Audrey Carville'I have both cried and laughed reading this book. It is beautiful.' - Muireann O'Connell

The Forest Is the Path

'We were reflecting on our own career as it was happening. It’s not that we were&nbsp;trend-conscious, we were doing exactly what we would have been doing anyway.' - Jim Morrison'We didn’t sit down and have a meeting to say, ‘Hey, we want to change the&nbsp;minds of people.’ We didn’t say it but we enjoyed doing it.' - John Densmore'The Doors is bigger than any of us, and that only happens once in a lifetime and&nbsp;not to many people. It’s an honour to be one of The Doors.' - Robby Krieger'We were just a bunch of psychedelic guys trying to spread the word and the feel of&nbsp;what it was like to be high in Venice back in the mid-sixties. And boy, was it a good feeling to watch&nbsp;that sun set into the middle of the ocean and feel that peace, and to feel at one with the universe.' - Ray Manzarek﻿Night Divides the Day is the definitive chronicle of The Doors, offering an intimate&nbsp;and richly illustrated exploration of the band’s legendary journey. Featuring&nbsp;interviews with Robby Krieger and John Densmore and meticulously sourced&nbsp;archival text from Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, their 50,000-word manuscript&nbsp;comes to life with a treasure trove of rare, unpublished&nbsp;photographs, original recording and production notes and exclusive memorabilia – all&nbsp;drawn from The Doors’ private archives.In this first-hand account, The Doors narrate the band's story from their early days&nbsp;playing local clubs on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles to the iconic, and sometimes&nbsp;infamous, moments that defined their career. From the electrifying release of&nbsp;anthems like ‘Light My Fire’, ‘The End’ and ‘Riders on the Storm’, to the notorious&nbsp;Dinner Key Auditorium performance in Miami, Night&nbsp;Divides the Day captures the essence of The Doors’ meteoric rise&nbsp;and the reverberations they left in their wake.Featuring new and insightful contributions from a diverse array of artists, including&nbsp;Van Morrison, Nile Rodgers, Slash, Nancy Sinatra and more, the book is anchored&nbsp;by a foreword from Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and an afterword by maestro&nbsp;Gustavo Dudamel. These unique voices offer fresh perspectives&nbsp;on The Doors’ indelible cultural impact.Granted unprecedented access to the band’s archives, Night Divides the Day is a&nbsp;visual and narrative feast. The book showcases a stunning personal collection of&nbsp;historical artifacts – childhood photographs, handwritten song lyrics, poster art,&nbsp;movie stills and previously unseen album cover outtakes. Images of the band&nbsp;in the recording studio, along with work from celebrated photographers and trusted&nbsp;insiders, transport readers behind the scenes and on the road with The Doors. In&nbsp;addition, rare and invaluable items from the band’s history, including vintage&nbsp;instruments and recording equipment, are specially photographed to enrich this&nbsp;kaleidoscopic portrait of one of rock music’s most legendary bands.Night Divides the Day is the ultimate account of The Doors, capturing their incredible&nbsp;story and enduring legacy in a way that has never been seen before.

Night Divides The Day: The Doors Anthology

Das Trio-Debüt des Pianisten, Komponisten und 2025 mit dem MacArthur Fellowship ausgezeichneten Craig Taborn an der Seite von Tomeka Reid und Ches Smith wurde mit großer Spannung erwartet. In seiner Besprechung des Live-Auftritts der Gruppe im Herbst 2025 schwärmte das Hamburger Abendblatt, dass sie 'allesamt zur Speerspitze der US-amerikanischen Jazz-Avantgarde' gehörten und betonte, dass ihre Darbietung über einen strikten Jazz-Kontext hinausgeht: 'Das ist eher 'Neue Musik' - unberechenbar, aufregend und so ganz und gar nicht eingängig.' In der Tat ist der Ansatz des Trios auf Dream Archives eher von zerebraler Natur, doch wie der Titel vermuten lässt, wird ein breites musikalisches Spektrum abgedeckt: zahlreiche Idiome werden aus der Musikgeschichte entnommen und neu konfiguriert, wodurch eine zuvor ungehörte Klangwelt voller Reverien entsteht. Tänzerische Grooves und kraftvolle lyrische Passagen werden aus dicht orchestrierten Trio-Interaktionen herausgehoben, wobei vier ausgedehnte Taborn-Stücke das Fundament bilden. Mit den Trio-Adaptionen von Paul Motians 'Mumbo Jumbo' und Geri Allens 'When Kabuya Dances' werden zwei von Craigs wichtigsten Vorbildern auf meisterhafte Weise geehrt. Tomeka am Cello jongliert einerseits mit melodischer Führung, andererseits mit einem pizzicato Bassfundament, das sich - oft widerspenstig - mit Ches Smiths vielseitigem Instrumentenarsenal und Craigs umfassendem Verständnis der Klaviatur verbindet.

Dream Archives

A lively and imaginative exploration of the career and music of the Rocket Man Elton John is not only "still standing," he is a living superlative, the ultimate record-breaking, award-winning survivor of the great era of pop and rock music that he helped to shape during his six decades in the music industry. Yet few of his numerous biographies and song guides take him as a historical subject worthy of scholarly study. In contrast, On Elton John approaches the artist seriously and analytically, while still couched in a highly accessible style. Author Matthew Restall offers a new way to explore Sir Elton's career and music within the contexts of other artists and of sweeping shifts in popular culture during his lifetime. Each of the ten chapters is anchored to an Elton song, rooted in its pop culture history, and advances a clear argument, pairing him with figures ranging from Bernie (Bernie Taupin, his lyricist) to Bennie (of the Jets), from "frenemy" David Bowie to artists like Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, and Dua Lipa, from Diana (the princess) to Jesus (yes, that one). Restall contends that Sir Elton's career offers us a novel way to see and understand the last half century of pop music and culture history--whether we call the era that of the album, of rock, of postmodernism, or of something else. The yellow brick road of Sir Elton's career has been long, winding, and bumpy, but, as Restall argues, his success has come not just despite but because of those challenges. The artist's transformations from Reg to Elton to Sir Elton to Uncle Elton, from ugly duckling to bedazzled swan, from the world's biggest rock star to creator of the world's largest AIDS fundraising organization, from tabloid punching bag to pop royalty, have all served as survival strategies that illuminate the era he has thereby navigated. A must-have for fans, On Elton John will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in music history, popular culture, and the social issues of our era.

On Elton John

'Essential reading: the making of history as it was happening. Vivien was there' JARVIS COCKER Vivien Goldman was the first, most passionate and indubitably the most elegant chronicler of reggae, funk, free jazz and Afrobeat music: a pioneering female writer who shaped the Golden Age of music journalism in her image. Rebel Musix, Scribe on a Vibe collects Goldman's extraordinary output from 1975 onwards and features encounters with everyone from Brian Eno to the Sex Pistols, Patti Smith to Fela Kuti, Curtis Mayfield to Can - and of course, her good friend Bob Marley. It is both an unrivalled window onto late twentieth century counterculture and the indispensable chronicle of a legendary 'Punk Professor' who single-handedly changed the course of music writing forever. No music fan should be without it.

Finding Your Groove

Diesmal bin ich mit dem Wunsch an meine Musik herangegangen, sie als etwas Gleichberechtigtes zu verstehen, nicht als etwas nach dem Motto 'Ich bin der Chef'', sagt Julian Lage über sein fünftes Blue-Note-Album und Nachfolger des GRAMMY-nominierten 'Speak To Me', erneut produziert von Joe Henry. Diesmal wird der Gitarrenvirtuose mit einer neuen Band feat. John Medeski (Hammond B3, Piano), Jorge Roeder (Double Bass) und Kenny Wollesen (Drums, Percussion) zu hören sein. Während 'Speak To Me' Lages großes Statement als improvisierender Bandleader war, geht es ihm auf seinem neuen Album darum, sich selbst mehr als Bandmitglied zu verstehen und die von ihm geschriebenen Stücke gemeinsam mit seinem neuen Ensemble zu erkunden. Ein prominenter Teil des neuen Sounds ist dabei Organist John Medeski. Julian Lages moderner Gitarren-Sound trifft in dieser Kombination auf Anklänge klassischer Gitarre/Orgel-Sessions der Jazzgeschichte, wie z.B. von Grant Green &amp; Larry Young, Wes Montgomery &amp; Jimmy Smith oder Kenny Burrell &amp; Jack McDuff.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • USA TODAY BESTSELLER&nbsp;&nbsp;• LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER“Richie is refreshingly open in the book, which functions as both a fun memoir and a love letter to music and his beloved Tuskegee… There’s an abundance of love and gratitude in this wildly entertaining, utterly charming memoir.”&nbsp;– Kirkus,&nbsp;STARRED review"Satisfying... vulnerable and powerful." — New York TimesThe long-awaited memoir of the legendary Lionel Richie.As a storyteller second to none, Lionel Richie is ready to tell it all. In this intimate, deeply candid memoir, Lionel revisits hilarious and harrowing events to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don’t matter. Lionel chronicles lessons learned during his unlikely story of remarkable success—his dramatic transformation from painfully shy, “tragically” late bloomer to world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played as the soundtrack of our lives.&nbsp;Funny, warm, and riveting, Lionel recalls his childhood in Tuskegee, Alabama, where he grew up on its university campus during the heyday of the Civil Rights movement, raucous adventures as a member of The Commodores, coming-of-age in late 1960s Harlem, culture shock playing gigs on the French Riviera, the big break of being signed to Motown, his meteoric solo career that included an Olympics performance witnessed by two billion around the globe, all the way through to writing and recording “We Are the World” and his current multi-generational fame as a judge on American Idol.
