Temptation of Saint Anthony. Courtesy Christie s Images Ltd. 2021. The Old Master market came to life for two hours at Christie’s London on Thursday evening, whipping up a respectable £45.3 million ($52.8 million) and sparking occasions of broad bidding. The sale was a faithful antidote to Sotheby’s anemic £17.2 million ($23.8 million) outing on Wednesday evening in London, where 21 of the 49 lots failed to find buyers, resulting in a dismal sell-through rate of 57 percent.

Wooten is one of the most dynamic and eclectic musicians of his generation. Wooten’s new book, The Spirit of Music: The Lesson Continues, which will be published by Vintage Books this month, is an idiosyncratic, sometimes contradictory, lament about the decline of live music in contemporary life and the insidious impact of electronic devices on our collective ability to fully experience the power of music. This unusual book takes the form of an allegorical memoir-fable featuring Wooten and three musicians of widely differing musical backgrounds who have been mysteriously transported to Nashville to prevent the phasers a shadowy group who wear special headphones that cancel any music in the surrounding area from killing music all over the world. ....
