Available Copies Details Synopsis

"Hallelujah Junction is a journey across the musical landscape of America and through the life and times of John Adams, one of today's most admired and performed composers." "Adams traces his musical lineage back to the era of swing bands and to his grandfather's New Hampshire dance hall, where his clarinetist father met his jazz singer mother. He evokes in detail his own musical childhood in New England, with its marching bands and small-town orchestras, and describes his start as a serious composer in college, his cross-country journey to California, and his gradual rise as one of the most important figures in American music."--BOOK JACKET.
