Told in her unabashedly honest and irreverent voice, Clothes … Music … Boys doesn’t shy away from tales of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, as she reflects on defining punk fashion, struggling to find her place among the boys, and her romance with Mick Jones. She also includes an honest account of her post-punk life.

New Jazz Standards

New Jazz Standards

New Jazz StandardsCarl Saunders of Locals 47 (Los Angeles, CA) and 369 (Las Vegas, NV) has spent his life playing trumpet with some of the most well-known and exciting bands in the US, including hitting the road at 18 with Stan Kenton’s band. “This is my book of original tunes,” says Saunders. “I thought that a fake book of originals would be something different for jazz students or professionals, so I went through the songs that I have written through the years and compiled this book.” The book contains more than 300 tunes—ballads, bossa novas, sambas, and straight-ahead tunes. It is available in four different keys.
