Angels and Demons that Play - Paul Sears - Bog

Drummer Paul Sears, his friends and colleagues reminisce about a continuing lifetime of creative music. In both live performances and recordings, no rolling stone is left unturned in this fascinating memoir. Dive in and enjoy the show.

Dad would tell me, now this is jazz, now this is classical, and this is avant-garde...and so on. To me it was all just music. I either thought it was bitchin', or it wasn't. To me, classical is a period encompassing approximately the years 1730 to 1820, not a type of music. Igor Stravinsky, Alberto Ginastera and Bela Bartok are certainly not what I would call classical music. It's either GOOD MUSIC, or the other kind. My musical compass is wide, thanks to so much exposure to different stuff over the years. I will give anything a shot as long as it involves people operating actual musical instruments, and non auto tuned singing. So.. there it is.
