| Summary |
Most musicians unwittingly experience the defining effects of trust and distrust in their music making. In The Musician's Trust, musical collaborators James Jordan and James Whitbourn bring the importance of trust center stage and explore the many facets of this mysterious quality, both for individuals and ensembles. Drawing from their own experiences as conductors, composers, producers, and teachers, The Musician's Trust is a compelling addition to the best-selling series that started with Jordan's The Musician's Soul and continues with The Musician's Spirit, The Musician's Walk, Toward. |
