AllenLowe Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I read Lock's book on Braxton (not the festschrift) and liked it very much - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Mixtery was released as a 50th birthday celebration for Braxton back in the mid-1990s. It's a collection of essays, recollections and salutations from various writers and musicians. An excellent read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesnik Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 not that it has anything to do with Graham Lock, but the title of the book made me think of a book i recently got. it's a compilation of drawings by Robert Crumb of blues, jazz and country pioneers made in his typical style. together with it comes a CD with a compilation of Crumb-selected music that illustrates the drawings perfectly. the book features Bix Beiderbecke, together with a ton of other people i don't know (like a group called the Sheiks of... Araby, or something like that). together with every drawing of the artist comes information about his vital data. i think it was published in 2006. i had heard of these drawings before i saw it. i gave it to a friend who liked it a lot.
