I love music books, I also adore architecture books, they have given me more insights into composing than hard bastard music theory books ever have, like children's books have given me more insight about personal spirituality then any weighty Buddhist or Christian tome.
TonyL really bloody messed me up this week, some expensive ECM book in a photo piqued me, I searched and well... Eeeeeee! Click! procured on a whim and I await these with the expectation I used to have of LPs in the mail.
I am stalling on "Sleeves of Desire" the sleeve art of ECM BTW. But I don't think I will hold out long.
so, what are your fave music books,tell me about them, and why you like them, any like architecture books, "because the pics are great" is completely fine by me. Books sometimes do have too many words.
I just got the art of blue note and riverside sleeve (Coast to Coast) art books as well, that's fun and nice to flip through idly...
