THE PHILADELPHIA MUSIC BOOK: SOUNDS OF A CITY is a comprehensive history of Philadelphia music as composed by some of the city's best music reporters, journalists, and writers. It is a compendium of over three hundred biographies and stories about great artists from Philadelphia who have gained national and international fame. Each personality has had the shared experience of calling Philadelphia home, and wherever they ultimately landed, the city remains in their soul. This book weaves together the musical geography of Philly and brings its history of sound alive. Every style and genre of music created in or native to Philadelphia are represented: from the Academy of Music and Philadelphia Orchestra to Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, Chubby Checker to John Coltrane, the Mummers, gospel, blues, rock and roll, soul, punk, hip hop, and more. There is an energy and vibe in every Philadelphia neighborhood and its musical heritage richly deserves this beautiful volume"--
