Vibrations
A Memoir
«
“Vibrations was a revelation for me. I identified totally with Amram’s joie de vivre style, which illuminates the pages of Vibrations. … One thing is certain: Amram remains the most indefatigable musician of our time.”
»
—From the Foreword by Douglas Brinkley
“It is a sad book and uproarious, naïve and knowledgeable, insane and finally as straight as the top of Amram’s piano. It is one man’s struggle for the kind of authenticity in life and in music which everything in our time seems designed to frustrate and destroy.”
—Arthur Miller
“An utterly refreshing and rollicking ramble through the world of contemporary music, under the wing of a rambunctious tour guide who is guileless yet informative, funny yet perceptive, exhilarated yet earnest. Every profession should have its Amram!”
—George Plimpton
Tells the story of David Amram's adventures growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, working odd jobs, misfitting in the Army, barnstorming through Europe with the famous Seventh Army Symphony, exiling in Paris, scuffling on the Lower East Side, day-laboring - often down but never out - finally emerging as a major musical force.
