George SzellA Life of Music
MICHAEL CHARRY
“A fi ne biography of one of the twentieth century’s greatest
classical conductors. This thorough biography of one of the
most important fi gures on the American classical scene in
the post-World War II era is a valuable contribution to the
literature on classical music.”—Library Journal
“Charry not only gives us invaluable insights into his
leadership style and musical tastes ... but details some of the
fi nancial and political issues facing the orchestra during that
era. . . . Perhaps the book’s greatest value lies in humanizing
a man whom many have come to see as a humorless (or
perhaps joyless) martinet.”—SymphonyNow
“Charry examines Szell’s personal life in greater detail than
has been afforded before, with a trove of previously unpub-
lished letters. . . . Straightforward and erudite.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Musicians, concertgoers, and general readers will be cap-
tivated by the author’s behind-the-scenes look at what goes
into shaping a world-class orchestra.”—The Washington Times
“An excellent job of chronicling the everyday life of profes-
sional musicians.”—Huffi ngtonPost.com
“Given the conductor’s close identifi cation with a sym-
phonic orchestra, the extent of Szell’s operatic experience
may come as a surprise to some readers. Charry has done
excellent work in illuminating this overshadowed facet of
Szell’s career.”—Opera News464 pp. 6.125 x 9.25. 34 b & w photos. 2011.

and others. . . . Readers and researchers interested in women
composers, American music history, music theory, or jazz
from 1950 to the present will fi nd this book invaluable.”

MARTY GODBEY

trombone in hand, to punctuate one of her own ar-

in the American music history literature by investi-
gating the biographies of two centuries of American
composers and poets who have contributed to the

Follow Your HeartMoving with the Giants of Jazz, Swing, and Rhythm and Blues
JOE EVANS with Christopher Brooks
Forewords by Tavis Smiley and Bill McFarlin
“For every Armstrong or Ellington or Charlie Parker,
there were countless musicians, their names unknown
even to jazz fans, whose skill gave jazz the solid
foundation it needed. In Follow Your Heart, jazz
journeyman Joe Evans, now in his 90s, presents the
story of the sideman, the unsung hero of the golden
age of jazz, someone who could read music, learn new
tunes quickly, take solos if necessary and swing all the
time. . . . Thank you, Mr. Evans, not just for the music
you made, but for the man you are.”—The Washington Times200 pp. 6 x 9. 19 b & w photos. 2011.
