Lost Music Of The Holocaust Bok
<p>For more than thirty years Francesco Lotoro, an Italian pianist and composer has been on an odyssey to recover music written by the inmates of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps and the gulags of Stalin's Soviet Union. Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin's death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Lotoro pieces together the <b>human stories of survivors</b> whose only salvation was their love of music.<br/><br/>Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in <i>Lost Music of the Holocaust </i>are <b>extraordinary and historically important</b>. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotor has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub. To avoid discover by camp guards, Lotoro even discovered forgotten pieces of code inmates had invented to hide their real meaning - music. In many cases, the composers would be murdered in the gas chambers or worked to death, not knowing whether their music would be heard by the world. Until now.<br/><br/>Their stories and their music adds colour and humanity to the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin's oppressive rule. It is <b>a journey into music and history</b> that reveals a new way of telling the darkest chapters of the twentieth century whilst <b>shining a light on the beauty that could still be created amidst the horrors endured.</b></p>

Hope I Get Old Before I Die Bok
<p><b>From the author of <i>Abbey Road</i> comes the story of how enduring rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen and many more have remained in the ever changing music game.</b><br/><br/>When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July 1985 we thought he was rock's Grand Old Man. He was forty-three years old.<br/><br/>As the forty years since have shown he - and many others of his generation - were just getting started.<br/><br/>This was the time when live performance took over from records. The big names of the 60s and 70s exploited the age of spectacle that Live Aid had ushered in to enjoy the longest lap of honour in the history of humanity, continuing to go strong long after everyone else had retired.<br/><br/>Hence this is a story without precedent, a story in which Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up the Nobel Prize, the Beatles become, if anything, bigger than the Beatles and it's beginning to look as though all of the above will, thanks to the march of technology, be playing Las Vegas for ever.</p>

The Closest Thing To Crazy Bok
<p>Described variously as a 'polymath', a 'renaissance man' and 'one of the most colourful characters in the music business', Mike Batt has led an extraordinarily vibrant and challenging life that has been full of both glorious victories and bitter failures.<br/><br/>For better or for worse, he is a man who has always lived life on his own terms. Idiosyncratic but mainstream, complicated but compassionate, steadfastly maverick in spirit but avowedly commercial in outlook. He is a man of great contradictions, but even greater talent.<br/><br/>After starting out in the music business as a teenager, Batt shot to fame in the early 1970s for his part in the creation of the Wombles pop group. But this success proved to be just the beginning as he then went on to work with various artists as a songwriter, composer and producer, including Art Garfunkel, George Harrison, Cliff Richard, Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Katie Melua.<br/><br/>Featuring cameos from some of the biggest stars in the business from Paul McCartney to Prince, <i>The Closest Thing to Crazy</i> takes us not only on the rocky (and classical) journey of Mike Batt's life but also on a tour around the inside of his mind.</p>

Dip My Brain In Joy- My Life With Neil Innes Bok
<p><b>'Some called him the seventh Python, but I prefer to think of him as the first Neil Innes.'</b><b> - </b><b>Michael Palin</b><br/><br/><b>'The Rutles sort of liberated me from the Beatles in a way. It was the only thing I saw of those Beatles television shows. It was actually the best, funniest and most scathing. But at the same time, it was done with the most love.' - </b><b>George Harrison</b><br/><br/>Few individuals have had such an impact on British culture over the past fifty years as the comedy and music icon Neil Innes.<br/><br/>He was the songwriting powerhouse of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band. Beatles muse and collaborator. Injector of art college surrealism into 1960s TV comedy. Instigator of a revolution that led directly to Monty Python, the group he repeatedly joined on screen and stage. He was Ron Nasty, co-founder of the much-loved Rutles, the 'pre-fab four'. Accidental inventor of the phrase 'Cool Britannia'. Much-loved children's TV storyteller, thinker, maker, creator, undisputed national treasure and Britain's sweet idiot laureate.<br/><br/>And through it all, Neil remained one of the kindest and loving individuals in showbusiness. Musicians, comedians and fans alike loved being around Neil. He created music and joy and art wherever he went. And the person who loved having him round more than anybody else was Yvonne. Neil and Yvonne met at a Bonzo Dog Band gig in the 1960s and they went on to walk hand-in-hand through life for over fifty years, until Neil's untimely death in 2019.<br/><br/>This book is a heartfelt, eyewitness tale of the life of one of British culture's quiet geniuses. It is tribute to life inside the circus, with the gentlest and wisest of clowns.</p>

And The Roots Of Rhythm Remain Bok
<p>Joe Boyd was part of a small group of label heads and journalists who chose 'world music' as their marketing slogan in the 1980s. They had little idea how fast and how wide those simple words would spread, the controversy it would cause, and only the vaguest idea of how far back the history went.<br/><br/>Following the international success of his memoir <i>White Bicycles</i>, Boyd set out to explore the stories behind the music he had helped to populariee. His experiences as a producer working in Cuba, Brazil, Bulgaria, Mali, Hungary, Spain and India had given him the skeleton of an idea, though the subject is far broader. Over the past decade he has interviewed musicians, producers and academics, travelled the globe and spent years reading, listening and writing.<br/><br/>The resulting book, <i>And the Roots of the Rhythm Remain</i>, is like no other. It shows how personalities, events and politics in Havana, Lagos, Buenos Aires, Soweto, Rio and Seville are as colourful and fascinating as anything that took place in Storyville, Harlem, Laurel Canyon or Liverpool. And, moreover, how jazz, r&b and rock 'n' roll would never have happened if it wasn't for sounds emanating from over the horizon and below the equator.</p>
