Summary: A profoundly spiritual accounting
Comment: Keyboardist and author John Novello's The Song That Never Ended: A Jazz Musician's Journey To A Love Beyond Life is both a personal love story and a recounting of a love that lasts beyond death. John Novello lost his wife, jazz singer Gloria Rusch, to breast cancer in January 2000, yet through mediums and the eternal connection of the human spirit, experienced a kind of "interdimensional" communication with her from beyond the grave. A profoundly spiritual accounting, The Song That Never Ended is a highly recommended addition to New Age Spirituality and Metaphysical Studies reading lists, as well as of immense interest to John Novello fans who appreciate his contributions in the field of progressive jazz rock fusion with the musical group Niacin.

Summary: Coda for Love
Comment: Two Passions. Music...and Love. The music? Jazz. Love? The love between a man and a woman. Husband and Wife, Soul mates.

This true story intertwines between both worlds and how each passion feeds the creativity of the other. What if you did find your true soul mate, what would it be like? It would be something like this. Love transcends all.

For any music lover, the theme of love transcending all is not a new one. But beyond the phrases of contemporary pop songs, here is an in-depth story of how one musician first found love in his music, and then the true love of his life in another artist. It's inspiring to know that if one follows the true desires that one holds close; through hard work, perseverance, and a little slyness, you can achieve your dreams. It worked for John Novello (Novello-Rusch, Niacin). The same goes for love. Look for love, allow yourself to fall in love, don't take it for granted, and once you find it, honor it. That's what unfolds as this story begins.

It's a very touching story, and not without it's heartaches. Reading about how two people meet and feel as if they've met before is quite romantic. Their love ensues and so do their musical careers (fans will enjoy reading this). But John (and Gloria), through the trauma of his wife's battle with cancer shows just what true love, and the blues, are all about. And more than anything, how to never take one another for granted and always be there for each other. Always. This is when you get to the coda of this "Song".

In music, a coda is "a concluding musical section that is formally distinct from the main structure". That's exactly what this book has here. Beyond the physical, that is, metaphysically speaking, what is it that drives us? What is it that makes a musician so soulful? What is it that drives our creative processes? What is "in" us in life that disappears when the body dies? The most interesting part of this book was how the spiritual part of their love has truly transcended art and life. The power of love. And if you've felt that in your life, you will feel it again reading these pages. People you know and love will come to mind and you will be inspired! Inspired to create and inspired to love. If you haven't felt it, after reading this, you'll want to feel it.

If you love music, especially jazz, know anything about the music biz or maybe are a fan of John and Gloria, or are just a regular romantic looking for clues on finding your soul mate, I highly recommend this book. You'll laugh, cry, and smile reading it as I did. So keep a box of tissues handy. But, when you're done, you'll know there is more to love than greeting cards, roses, and silly love songs.
