Seekers. Encounters with Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, the Dalai Lama, and other creators of beauty

The famous drummer of The Doors, John Densmore, uses his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers to explore the roots of creativity itself. His book is a series of conversations with musicians, writers, and spiritual mentors that help to better understand the world of art and inspiration. 24 stories — 24 fascinating interlocutors: from Patti Smith to Bob Marley and the Dalai Lama. The sounds of music — this is what connects these outstanding individuals. Together with John Densmore you: • will witness unforgettable performances of Janis Joplin on stage — as if the soul of a primitive African woman inhabited her every time; • will learn how the songs of Jim Morrison were born, who did not know a single chord on any instrument; • will attend concerts of rock and jazz stars, discover the backstage life of the stars and understand why the silence that follows between songs is so important. The book Seekers. Encounters with Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, the Dalai Lama, and other creators of beauty was awarded the Best Music Book of 2020 by the authoritative magazine Best Classic Bands. John Densmore is one of the founders of the iconic band The Doors. In 1993, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
