Sound Tracks tells the history of our relationship with music in 60
detective stories, each focusing on the discovery of a musical
instrument in archaeological digs around the world. Taking us from
the present day back to the dawn of time, long-lost music is here
reconstructed as we enter the worlds of its makers. We feel a
child's delight at playing with a water-filled pot that chirps like
a bird in Peru in 700 AD; we appreciate the challenge of a soldier
sending signals by trumpet along Hadrian's Wall; we hear the
chiming of 64 bells buried in a tomb in 5th century China. Graeme
Lawson leads us on a grand tour of the world's greatest musical
discoveries, revealing that music is part of our DNA - not just in
its role as pastime, entertainment or religious expression but also
in how we commemorate our pasts and communicate with each other. It
shapes all our lives and identities. Filling past silences with a
treasure hoard of forgotten sounds and voices, Sound Tracks is an
enthralling, astonishing alternative history of humanity.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A virtuosic memoir . . . elegant,
frank and well-structured, that entirely resists cliche . . . The
concert pianist's account of striving for musical mastery sits
alongside a stirring coming of age narrative . . . readable for
both diehard classical music fans and complete newcomers alike . .
. A rare feat.' The Guardian A uniquely illuminating memoir of the
making of a musician, in which renowned pianist Jeremy Denk
explores what he learned from his teachers about classical music:
its forms, its power, its meaning - and what it can teach us about
ourselves. In this searching and funny memoir, based on his popular
New Yorker article, renowned pianist Jeremy Denk traces an
implausible journey. Life is difficult enough as a precocious,
temperamental, and insufferable six-year-old piano prodigy in New
Jersey. But then a family meltdown forces a move to New Mexico, far
from classical music's nerve centers, and he has to please a new
taskmaster while navigating cacti, and the perils of junior high
school. Escaping from New Mexico at last, he meets a bewildering
cast of college music teachers, ranging from boring to profound,
and experiences a series of humiliations and triumphs, to find his
way as one of the world's greatest living pianists, a MacArthur
'Genius,' and a frequent performer at Carnegie Hall. There are few
writers working today who are willing to eloquently explore both
the joys and miseries of artistic practice. Hours of daily
repetition, mystifying early advice, pressure from parents and
teachers who drove him on - an ongoing battle of talent against two
enemies: boredom and insecurity. As we meet various teachers, with
cruel and kind streaks, Denk composes a fraught love letter to the
act of teaching. He brings you behind the scenes, to look at what
motivates both student and teacher, locked in a complicated and
psychologically perilous relationship. In Every Good Boy Does Fine,
Denk explores how classical music is relevant to 'real life,'
despite its distance in time. He dives into pieces and composers
that have shaped him - Bach, Mozart, Schubert, and Brahms, among
others - and gives unusual lessons on melody, harmony, and rhythm.
Why and how do these fundamental elements have such a visceral
effect on us? He tries to sum up many of the lessons he has
received, to repay the debt of all his amazing teachers; to remind
us that music is our creation, and that we need to keep asking
questions about its purpose. 'Denk . . . has written a book that
shows what it's like to be a pianist, but also what it's like to be
Jeremy Denk. As if that were not enough, it is also about the
elements of music, and beyond that an account of the ways in which
music and life mirror each other. It is a book like none other . .
. Denk weaves invisible threads connecting life and art into
something very close to musical form.' Simon Callow, The New York

Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards,
this is the official and fully authorised biography of the world's
most revered and celebrated drummer. Mid-1962. The newly formed
Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer. Their
sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known
within London's rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future
Stones fans the world over, they persuade him to take on the job.
Once installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss a beat for
the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties
as the Stones reached superstardom and for the well-documented
debauchery of the 1970s, typified by the iconic album Exile on Main
St. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie emerged
unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but
no less compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates. For
almost 60 years - through all the band bust-ups, bereavements and
changes in personnel both on stage and off - Charlie remained the
rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was
the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man
who valued his family above all else. Drawing on new interviews
with his family, friends and former bandmates - including Mick
Jagger and Keith Richards - Charlie's Good Tonight is the
remarkable life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as
it's never been told before.
