A new, Limited Edition Bruce Lundvall: Playing By Ear book directly from the author through ArtistShare.\nAuthor Dan Ouellette paints the portrait of one of the most notable figures in the record industry based on an exciting series of interviews with Bruce himself. Lundvall, a legend in his field, has seen, heard, and lived it all. Starting at an entry-level position at Columbia Records in 1960 and today serving as the creatively plugged-in chairman emeritus of Blue Note Records, Bruce has literally "played it by ear" - signing, nurturing, promoting, and in some cases discovering some of the top-tier musicians of our time, including Herbie Hancock, Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, Amos Lee, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin, and many others. As a unique leader who does not fit the typical mold of a commercial-minded record exec, he's been the unsung hero of the popular music art form for more than fifty years, and he has left an indelible mark on the music industry. This authorized biography by veteran music journalist Dan Ouellette reveals Lundvall's vivid life and fascinating career.

Ron Carter is among the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz. With more than 2,000 albums to his credit, he has recorded with many of music's greats: Tommy Flanagan, Gil Evans, Lena Horne, Bill Evans, B.B. King, the Kronos Quartet, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, and Bobby Timmons. In the early 1960s he performed throughout the United States in concert halls and nightclubs with Jaki Byard and Eric Dolphy. At six feet, four inches, the bassist towers over the bandstand, no longer relegated to the back, in the shadows behind the frontline players. And in a historical shift of jazz bass playing, he's no longer just a timekeeper, a rhythm man, a sidekick to the spotlight artist-but an architect of the highest order, an impromptu composer even when he's not taking solos. Pliable yet powerful. The instigator. The catalyst. The shepherd. The finest walker in the history of jazz. The risk-taker with an elegant streak. Refined. The anchor of Miles Davis's classic 60s quintet. The most recorded jazz bassist of all time. National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master. If he were a character in a novel, he would be the protagonist. That's Ron Carter, jazz legend, and Finding the Right Notes is his story.
