Questlove has announced a new book, Music Is History, out this October via Abrams. The Roots drummer and DJ’s latest work is a non-fictional look at the last half-century of music, in which he writes about one song from every year since 1971. The years that overlap with Questlove’s own life will include anecdotes from his experiences as a young fan and musician. The book is available to pre-order now.
In February, it was announced that Questlove would be directing a forthcoming documentary on Sly Stone. After his documentary Summer of Soul won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, it was picked up by Hulu and Searchlight Pictures for distribution.
