Reviews

[Arnoldas Rutkauskas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Visai nieko, tokia jau gerokai pasenusi, bet ankstyvajam paauglių tarpsniui priskirtina muzikos istorinos knygutė su nemažai komiksiškumo, neblogu humoro jausmu, pasakojanti apie pop, bliuzą, hiphopą, klasikinę muziką, džiazą, ritmenbliuzą, pankroką ir kitas muzikos rūšis bei žanrus.

It covers Classic Music (an anecdote about Luciano Pavarotti surprised me so much I had to share it with other people); Black Music (jazz, blues) and British Music (The Beatles, Oasis).

I really love how Michael Cox writes, he flows between subjects easily and has a good sense of (teacher) humour to go a long with it. His books are really informative and interesting.
