In the 20th Century, India was fortunate to have had the landmark musician Ustad (maestro) Allauddin Khan in the forefront of musical culture, as he broke the bonds of orthodoxy and closed-mindedness with which the old families and teaching lineages withheld the knowledge of North Indian Classical Music. He endeavored to make that art available for anyone interested and talented, without sacrificing the integrity of it in any way whatsoever. Allauddin Khan�s achievements as a performer was historic in itself � a musician who would be remembered as one of the greatest virtuosos and musical thinkers of all time. At the same time, his service to India and the world in bringing this ancient art out to common society is perhaps an accomplishment paralleled only by the great social reformers of our time. It is impossible to sketch the life-portrait of a man of such scope, particularly as Ustad Allauddin Khan�s achievements spanned close to a hundred years. He lived for over a century and continued his work until his very last days. This book has endeavored to give the reader a glimpse of his extraordinary life, as an artist, as a historically significant contributor to this great art, and as a man of the noblest character.

By Reginald Hach�
If you've ever experienced stage fright, this is a �must read� dissertation on the subject of controlling one's emotions during concert performances. You will find methods in this book, circumventing this debilitating problem, enabling you to find the confidence necessary to be able to give competent and enjoyable piano recitals in public. You will also discover why this method, which was so effective during the days of the great composers and performers of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, was so adamantly recommended to colleagues and their own piano students. In fact, some of these great composers went so far as to be very critical of performers avoiding the old fashioned method of performance for the more theatrical musical presentation introduced by Franz Liszt. Whatever the case is, keep in mind that �Stage fright can be hazardous to one's ability to perform in public�. This book should give you an optional method to get the job done, so to speak, and make public performance a joy, rather than a terrifying experience you may never want to repeat during your life time.

By Robert �Boogie� Bowles with Kathleen Greer Greaves
Sharing his principles and trials to success with other musicians is what Robert �Boogie� Bowles endeavors in his autobiography, which commemorates 25 years of playing guitar for Motown legend Smokey Robinson. His story takes the reader not only �Behind the Boogie,� but behind the scenes of how popular hit songs like �I Will Survive,� �Shake Your Groove Thing,� and �Reunited� were recorded, and what life was like as a musician on the road during the turbulent 1960�s and the Civil Rights unrest. He�s played on the �Saturday Night Fever� soundtrack and has recorded with famed producers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff and Freddie Perren & Dino Fekaris, to name a few. From the day he was discovered by the �Ice Man� Jerry Butler, Boogie�s journey of rhythm and blues follows the course from band performer, studio musician, songwriter, producer, and arranger, to music publisher. Despite hitting the charts with a �bullet� and later hitting rock-bottom, Boogie exemplifies how a seasoned musician sustains longevity in the entertainment business and how he�s shared the course for more than two decades performing with Smokey Robinson.
