Trade Review
"Startling insights on every page."---Henrietta Bredin, Country Life Magazine
"A provocative and beautiful collection of twenty-six often deeply personal essays. . . . The works in Ways of Hearing point to the magic in music . . . its ability to enrich and affirm life, to express depths that words cannot reach, to provide hope and healing, and perhaps most importantly, to connect us to other people, near and far, and to all that exists and moves around us. . . . The volume . . . is a pleasure."---Thomas M. Kitts, Popular Music and Society
"

Across the 26 easily digestible essays that span subjects from Olivier Messiaen to Charles Mingus, this book gives the reader a unique insight into the role music plays in the lives of some of the world’s great artists and thinkers.
