This book is a reverent and interactive homage to David Bowie, with dense illustrations of the many real and imagined universes of his own making. Hidden somewhere on each of these double page spreads, a Bowie is patiently waiting to be spotted by the well-trained eye of a fan. As the chameleonic Bowie took on so many iconic personas across his illustrious career, each moment is celebrated chronologically in this book. You will have to find young and dapper David Jones in 1960s Brixton; look for Ziggy Stardust in spaced out Outer Space, crawling with Martian spiders and nestled between the stars; then search for glam Bowie among the revellers at Studio 54; and ask yourself, "is that the Thin White Duke outside Hansa By the Wall in late-70s Berlin?” Each page of this book is so laden with Bowie references that you might even pick up a factoid or two in your search. With fun, detailed illustrations that explore Bowie's world - and that of his influences - Where's Bowie is the perfect guide to the cultural icon for both adults and children. Plus, who doesn't want to raise their kid as a Bowie super-geek? No one - that's who.

ERIC CLAPTON HAR I ET HALVT ÅRHUNDREDE været anerkendt som en af rockens sande virtuoser, en guitarhelt uden lige. Hans karriere spænder over næsten hele rockhistorien, som han har formet i toneangivende bands som The Yardbirds, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith og Derek and the Dominos.Nu bliver hans historie fortalt – også alle de ting, han udelod af sine erindringer – af en af rockens mest velestimerede forfattere, Philip Norman, der med Claptons velsignelse har fået adgang til hans nære familie og venner. Vi hører om hans både forkælede og traumatiske barndom og vilde ungdom i Swinging London i 60’erne, der gjorde ham til narkoman og alkoholiker og sendte ham ud i en selvdestruktiv dødsspiral, der først stoppede i midten af 90’erne, efter at han havde mistet sin fireårige søn i en ufattelig tragedie.Centralt i fortællingen om Clapton står hans uforløste forhold til kvinder, ikke mindst moren, der forlod ham, da han var helt lille, og hustruen Pattie Boyd, som han ’stjal’ fra sin bedste ven, George Harrison, blot for at behandle hende endnu værre, end George havde gjort. Som kvindebedårer mødte han sin overmand i Mick Jagger, men når det gjaldt om at opføre sig hensynsløst og skamløst, overgik ingen Clapton. En stor, medrivende biografi, der kaster nyt lys over det komplekse menneske bag legenden.

"Jazz i Danmark – i tyverne, trediverne og fyrrerne" er Erik Wiedemanns store afhandling om jazzmusikken og dens første tre årtier her til lands. Bind 1 giver en grundig introduktion til historien om de sortes særprægede musik, der rejste over Atlanten fra USA til Europa, og til jazzmusikkens udvikling i årene, der fulgte.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlErik Wiedemann (1930-2001) var radiovært, musikanmelder og universitetslektor. Især jazzmusikken havde hans store interesse, og i 1982 blev han den første i Danmark, der opnåede en doktorgrad ved universitetet på baggrund af en afhandling om jazz. Wiedemann var ansat ved Københavns Universitet fra 1972-2000, men havde allerede fra 1951 fungeret som jazzkritiker for Information.

Karl Aage Rasmussens nye musikbiografi omhandler den russiske komponist Sergej Prokofjev, som levede fra 1891 til 1953. Prokofjev blev født før den russiske revolution, i en forholdsvis velhavende familie og fik sine første værker uropført i Rusland; men under revolutionen forlod han sit fædreland og turnerede rundt som pianist i både Europa og USA. Han fik også værker uropført i Europa, men løb ind i forskellige skuffelser og blev efterhånden tiltrukket af de løfter om rige muligheder i Sovjetunionen, og fra 1933 til sin død boede han der. Han skrev både orkester- og kammermusik, han skrev operaer, musik til balletter, fx ROMEO OG JULIE, til film, bl.a. Eisensteins ALEXANDER NEVSKIJ og teater. Det var imidlertid langtfra alle de gyldne løfter, der blev indfriet af regimet, han kom i modvind og på kant med Stalins doktriner, blev anklaget for formalisme, noget af det værste, der kunne overgå en kunstner i Stalin-tiden, og navnlig hans sidste år blev bitre og sure for ham. Det er denne komponistskæbne, Karl Aage Rasmussen beskriver med sans for såvel komponistens liv og værk som den tid, han levede i.

'I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with "purple" and "Sabbath" written on the thighs, and rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped. Oh yes, and I wanted to be a drummer...' Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden's legendary front man - is one of the world's most iconic singers and songwriters. But there are many strings to Bruce's bow, of which larger-than-life lead vocalist is just one. He is also an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, beer brewer, novelist, radio presenter, film scriptwriter and an international fencer: truly one of the most unique and interesting men in the world. In What Does this Button Do? Bruce contemplates the rollercoaster of life. He recounts - in his uniquely anarchic voice - the explosive exploits of his eccentric British childhood, the meteoric rise of Maiden, summoning the powers of darkness, the philosophy of fencing, brutishly beautiful Boeings and firmly dismissing cancer like an uninvited guest. Bold, honest, intelligent and funny, this long-awaited memoir captures the life, heart and mind of a true rock icon, and is guaranteed to inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike.
