From the Bottom Up

A great book about music and life

This is a wonderful book. It is fascinating just for great musicians talking about the specifics of their training and inspiration, but it is also, in a beautifully sneaky way, about the arc of a creative life, and how to grow, learn, and collaborate over a lifetime. Highly recommended.
