Author and music critic known for books on rock history and on avant-garde/new age music, including the two works reviewed here.

Has published guides and histories focused on rock and contemporary/avant-garde music; the two reviewed books are discussed on DeBaser.

DeBaser hosts two short reviews of Piero Scaruffi's books: one critical, one appreciative. The reviews discuss his treatments of rock and avant-garde/new age music and pepper their takes with ironic beverage references. Readers will find both dismissive and informative perspectives.

For:Readers and listeners interested in rock history, avant-garde and new age music, and music criticism.

 I read it only once, distractedly, while enjoying a fantastic chinotto, and I found it a banal work, mediocre, not at all revolutionary, and scarcely innovative.

 I have read it more than once, in fragments. I have it in my hands even now, while savoring a fantastic guaraná Antartica, and I find it an interesting work, rich in information and names of many innovators of contemporary music.
