Glenn Miller & His Orchestra Hachette Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Moonlight Serenade, Sunrise Serenade, Little Brown Jug, In the Mood...These and other memorable tunes endeared Glenn Miller to millions in the Swing Era and all who recall those times. After playing trombone and arranging for leading orchestras of the Dorsey brothers, Ray Noble, Ben Pollack, and Red Nichols, Glenn Miller formed his own "sweet" band, which from 1938 to 1942 achieved widespread popularity second only to Benny Goodman's. Miller learned all he could from these and other bands like Jimmie Lunceford's and Artie Shaw's, going on to create a uniquely rich sound with clarinet over four saxes and four trombones ("three-part harmony sounds too thin," he once exclaimed). Simon tells of both the successes and hard times of Miller's illustrious career, up to his celebrated Army Air Force band and his untimely death.

Through the Eye of the Tiger BenBella Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

As the founding member of Survivor and co-writer of one of the most inspirational songs in rock history, Jim Peterik easily fits into the category of "rock star." But a closer look at Peterik's life and career reveal that he is anything but your typical rock star. Forgoing a life of meaningless sex and drugs, Peterik married his high school sweetheart and focused on the music, becoming one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation. Here, for the first time, Peterik shares the stories behind his iconic songs--from touring with Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin on the heels of the Ides of March number one classic "Vehicle" to his Grammy-winning, triple platinum "Eye of the Tiger" with Survivor and beyond. He explores the often torturous power struggles within the band contrasted by the giddy highs that accompany a trail of worldwide hits.Peterik has also co-written songs with some of the most famous bands and artists in rock-and-roll, including 38 Special (Rockin' Into the Night, Caught Up In You, Hold On Loosely), Sammy Hagar (Heavy Metal), Brian Wilson, The Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, the platinum comeback of The Beach Boys (That's Why God Made the Radio), and many more. Through the Eye of the Tiger is more than just a memoir of a songwriting legend; it's a classic rock-and-roll story, told through the eyes of someone who has lived through it all- and through the Eye Of The Tiger.

Bee Gees Hachette Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The first narrative biography of the Bee Gees, the phenomenally popular vocal group that has sold more than 200 million records worldwide-sales in the company of the Beatles and Michael Jackson. The Bee Gees is the epic family saga of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, and it's riddled with astonishing highs-especially as they became the definitive band of the disco era, fueled by Saturday Night Fever and crashing lows, including the tragic drug-fueled downfall of youngest brother, Andy. In recent years, a whole new generation of fans has rediscovered the undeniable grooves and harmonies that made the Bee Gees and songs like Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, To Love Somebody, and I Started a Joke timeless.
