Following, please find a list of books about music and music-related subjects in my collection. I have learned much from these books. This list is being constantly expanded, so please come back and check out the new additions.

Although not the first and not the only book written about the seminal SF band Jefferson Airplane, Tamarkin´s work, written from a historic perspective, is probably the best of them all. Based on extensive interviews with the band´s members and well researched, the book presents a realistic picture of the band´s history, it´s ups and downs and its streak of genius. A most fascinating reading from cover to cover and a great document of the era.

An autobiography of Dallas Taylor, the drummer of Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. His life is a familiar story of drugs, sex and rock ´n´ roll, with his life nearly destroyed by the lifestyle led by Rock stars.

A brief history of Jazz and the emergence of Jazz-Rock Fusion.

This is one of the first books to be published about John Coltrane and remains one of the best till this day. Basically a biography - it traces Coltrane´s life - it is also much more then just a biography - it tries to understand the analyse the psychology of the musical genius and his struggle to express his burning mind with the limitations intrinsic to usage of a musical instrument. Fascinating reading all through!
