Alex Ross has a new book coming out in September! It's called Listen to This. Says Mr. Ross: "The new book is a panoramic tour of the musical world, touching variously on Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Brahms, Marian Anderson, Frank Sinatra, Cecil Taylor, Led Zeppelin, Björk, Radiohead, Mitsuko Uchida, Esa-Pekka Salonen, John Luther Adams, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, Bob Dylan, and the Malcolm X Shabazz High School Marching Band. In the Preface, I say that the aim is to 'approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world.'"
It's not available for pre-order on Amazon yet, so don't bother trying. Not that I've checked once or twice...a day.
All the information that is currently available can be found: here. (And perhaps a preview of what's to come: here?)
