Music For Grown-Ups celebrates great musicians, from Bach to Björk, Dylan to The Doors, Mozart to Miles Davis. And loads more. In all genres. From all ages. Music For Grown-Ups ignores genre labels. Music is music. It's either good or bad. All genres have some music for grown-ups.

This book profiles almost 200 musicians, from rock, pop, jazz, blues, classical, opera, country and roots. Many profiles also have a review - of a live concert, new release, or TV/radio broadcast. Recordings are recommended to help you explore the enormous catalogue.

More and more listeners are enjoying quality music, regardless of genre. They're just as likely to listen to Bach as Björk. This book is aimed at them, and those seeking to swell their ranks.

If you're becoming bored by your music and would like to widen your horizons, Music For Grown-Ups is for you.

Author Gerry Smith's daily column on www.musicforgrown-ups.com, the ground-breaking web site, has been making the case for grown-up music and reviewing new releases and live shows - from opera house to jazz club and giant rockpop arena to tiny village hall - since 2002. His mantra is simple: "music is music…".
