Forever Lounge: A Laid-Back Guide to Languid Sounds

This can't-miss collection captures the spirit of lounge music and delivers the goods on a musical genre that's enjoying a huge resurgence. Compiled by writers and editors who themselves are lounge music aficionados, this one-of-a-kind volume features interviews with performers, fascinating sidebars, and two impressionistic visits to the "Land of Lounge" -- a literary trip to Mother's, the archetypal jazz lounge from the classic television series Peter Gunn; and a journey to one of today's retro lounges, full of hip Gen-X patrons who've embraced the scene as their own.
