About the Author:
APRIL HIGASHI is the art curator of the Jerry Garcia Estate and an artist herself. She lives in Berkeley, CA.

Grateful Dead drummer MICKEY HART has long been a student of music. Planet Drum, a group to which he belonged, was awarded the first-ever Grammy for Best World Music. Hart organized a percussion performance for the 1996 Olympic Games, setting the Guinness World Record for largest drum circle (4,504 drummers). Hart has authored 4 books and composed scores and soundtracks for a number of films.
From Booklist:
An innovative and prolific musician, Jerry Garcia was the driving force behind that legendary band from the Haight-Ashbury scene of the 1960s, the Grateful Dead. It was a full-time job, as represented by 30-odd years spent touring. Turns out, Garcia also was a skilled visual artist. Now comes this collection featuring reproductions of his work and lending new insight into his boundless creativity. Garcia began drawing and painting while in high school. He dabbled in different mediums, and the book is divided into four categories: drawings, watercolors, acrylics, and digital. Interspersed are essays written by significant cultural figures and his closest friends. Particularly impressive are Garcia's line drawings (including fun caricatures), and much of his work in all media retains the graceful fluidity of an expressive squiggle. His watercolors and acrylics are as vibrant as one might expect but still surprise with their juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous colors. His exploration of the digital world reflects a fascination with things new. Overall, the joy Garcia found in this more private form of artistic expression shines through on every page. Jerry Eberle
