Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-15 00:00:00 Ernst Anderson Brilliant book for anyone interested in the world of music therapy. The book is full of brilliant studies, facts and music therapists which are then worth looking further into. Inspiring and factual I would recommend this book to anyone.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-07 00:00:00 John Doe This fascinating and extremely well-written book examines the relationship between art, the avant-garde, and popular music from the late 19th century Parisian cabaret scene through the late 20th century New York punk and new wave scene. Along the way, Gendron follows the post-WWI European avant-garde's fascination with jazz and the mechanisms through which rock music gained cultural capital and critical approbation in the late 1960s. I kind of wish Gendron had given a little more attention to the ways race and gender intersected with all of this, but perhaps that really needs a separate book to cover adequately. Nonetheless, Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club does a wonderful job of looking at the relationships and tensions between avante-garde art and popular music. I especially enjoyed the exploration of the New York new wave scene, since I am a fan of a lot of music that came out of it.
