The living embodiment of The Beatles and a musical juggernaut without parallel, Paul McCartney is undoubtedly the patriarch of pop. In this authoritative biography, acclaimed author and journalist Howard Sounes creates the most accurate and extensive profile of McCartney ever built, leaving no stone unturned, and no shadow unexplored. He is the torch-bearer of the Beatles -- the greatest band in pop -- and one of the most closely studied stars in show business. But surprises and secrets still linger in the life of Sir Paul McCartney. In FAB, his full story is told for the first time. Acclaimed author Howard Sounes spent more than two years investigating every aspect of Sir Paul's life and work, including interviewing over 200 people. The result is the richest and more comprehensive biography of McCartney ever written. Uniquely, FAB pays equal attention to the story of Paul McCartney both in the Beatles and post-Beatles, creating a unique narrative spanning the arc of the artist's life. FAB culminates in the sensational human story of Sir Paul's calamitous marriage to Heather Mills, which is fully revealed for the first time. Sounes proves a judicious critic of the music of an iconic star while also delivering a superb psychological portrait of the man.

Este libro intenta completar la visión del complejo entramado cultural español y, dentro de él, de las prácticas dialógicas entre manifestaciones que han tenido pretensiones totalizadoras y otras que, siendo originalmente regionales, han terminado por convertirse en simbolos nacionales. La musica como texto, practica y discurso cultural ha contribuido a crear simbolos identitarios y a gestionar la movilizacion emocional de los ciudadanos. Ello es posible porque la musica carece de significados denotativos concretos, pero tiene un gran poder connotativo, capaz de articular identidades nacionales, sean inventadas, imaginadas o reales. Con todo, la identidad musical española existe, por mas que sea un constructo, y este libro intenta profundizar en cuales son sus simbolos y como han llegado a serlo, a medio camino entre la representacion y la negociacion.

Description In this beautiful book, Pulitzer Prize--winning musician and composer Wynton Marsalis draws upon lessons he's learned from a lifetime in jazz-lessons that can help us all move to higher ground. With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is the birthright of every American and demonstrates how a real understanding of the central idea of jazz-the unique balance between self-expression and sacrifice for the common good exemplified on the bandstand-can enrich every aspect of our lives, from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to City Hall. Along the way, Marsalis helps us understand the life-changing message of the blues, reveals secrets about playing-and listening-and passes on wisdom he has gleaned from working with three generations of great musicians. Illuminating and inspiring, Moving to Higher Ground is a master class on jazz and life, conducted by a brilliant American artist.
