Description
A Cure for Gravity: A Musical Pilgrimage by Joe Jackson is an intelligent and thoughtful look into the mind of an artist. This memoir-discourse explores the art of music through the life story of its author, who forged a singular career in music with his originality as a composer and independent stance towards the music industry. From a culturally impoverished childhood to the Royal Academy of Music, London's Punk and New Wave scenes, and the brink of pop stardom, Jackson recounts his journey with humor and candour. He shares stories of teenage passion for music, early piano gigs, and days on the road with forgotten club bands. This book offers a smart and passionate exploration of music, creativity, and coming of age as an artist, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the creative process.
