After John Coltrane, there was no more revered and profoundly influential saxophonist on the planet than Michael Brecker. For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure.

Here is the first comprehensive book that covers Prince''s forty-plus personal and professional years in and out of the public spotlight. Firmly grounded in a detailed chronological overview of Prince''s prodigious released and unreleased recorded musical output and epic live performances, Prince FAQ: All That''s Left to Know About the Purple Reign digs deep into Purple fact and legend as it explores the multiple number-one singles, the movie hits and flops, the exclusive and adventurous after shows, and the provocative TV appearances. But more than just a look at the music and moving images, this volume also highlights Prince''s relationship with those in the Purple Court-the Revolution, New Power Generation, Third Eye Girl and other band members, his musical influences (from Santana to Stevie to the Stones), the countless individual (Christopher Tracy) and group aliases (Madhouse), protégés (Carmen Electra), the cover artists (the Bangles) and recovery projects (Mavis Staples), and the wives, lovers, and multiple ingénues. And then there are the controversies-the rivalries with Rick James and Michael Jackson, the USA for Africa snub, the questions surrounding his untimely death, the fate of countless unreleased audio and video projects, and, of course, his battle against Warner Bros. and the music industry that caused him to change his name to an unpronounceable symbol. Accompanied by dozens of rare images, Prince FAQ is the go-to volume for all things Prince.

GRANT GREEN REDISCOVERING THE FORGOTTEN GENIUS OF JAZZ GUITAR

Today musical composition for films is more popular than ever. In professional and academic spheres media music study and practice are growing; undergraduate and postgraduate programs in media scoring are offered by dozens of major colleges and universities. And increasingly pop and contemporary classical composers are expanding their reach into cinema and other forms of screen entertainment. Yet a search on Amazon reveals at least 50 titles under the category of film music and remarkably only a meager few actually allow readers to see the music itself while none of them examine landmark scores like ÊVertigoÊ ÊTo Kill a MockingbirdÊ ÊPattonÊ ÊThe UntouchablesÊ or ÊThe MatrixÊ in the detail provided by ÊScoring the Screen: The Secret Language of Film MusicÊ.ÞThis is the first book since Roy M. Prendergast''s 1977 benchmark ÊFilm Music: A Neglected ArtÊ to treat music for motion pictures as a compositional style worthy of serious study. Through extensive and unprecedented analyses of the original concert scores it is the first to offer both aspiring composers and music educators with a view Êfrom the insideÊ of the actual process of scoring-to-picture.ÞThe core thesis of ÊScoring the ScreenÊ is that music for motion pictures is indeed a ÊlanguageÊ developed by the masters of the craft out of a dramatic and commercial necessity to communicate ideas and emotions instantaneously to an audience. Like all languages it exists primarily to convey ÊmeaningÊ. To quote renowned orchestrator Conrad Pope (who has worked with John Williams Howard Shore and Alexandre Desplat among others): If you have ÊanyÊ interest in what music ''means'' in film get this book. Andy Hill is among the handful of penetrating minds and ears engaged in film music today.
