In 65 drawings  including 16 in mixed media and full color  Sempes whimsical music-makers play all the time  anywhere-practicing  performing  alone or together  at recitals  sessions  and concerts  with audiences or without: a small boy takes on Mozart  an elderly woman struggles with \"Echo of Harlem.\" They are caught in an overwhelming culture  but-like the speck-sized cellist of the last page-they move \"towards a simpler world\" through the music they make. This is a book that the New York Times praised as \"A delicious  evocative album of caricature. . . . Sempes line becomes music.\" Said Leonard Bernstein  \"Sempe is a comedic genius  who gives all of us musicians the invaluable gift of redeeming our solemnity with the grace of humor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983543267381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0894805088","price":59.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780894805080.jpg?v=1770798035","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-musicians","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
