I just recently finished "The Music Lesson" by Victor Wooten. An interesting read and some fascinating views on playing music.
If you suspend disbelief - the book's story is told through the interactions of Victor with his unusual "Mentor". The journey is well worth it.
This book shares some incredible ideas on melody, harmony, improvisation and playing like you mean it. Ride through the parts that seem like a fairytale and you will come out with a renewed sense of what playing music means to you.
A fun read that makes you think.
