Book Synopsis A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers by : Will Friedwald
Download or read book A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers written by Will Friedwald and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Friedwald’s illuminating, opinionated essays—provocative, funny, and personal—on the lives and careers of more than three hundred singers anatomize the work of the most important jazz and popular performers of the twentieth century. From giants like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland to lesser-known artists like Jeri Southern and Joe Mooney, they have created a body of work that continues to please and inspire. Here is the most extensive biographical and critical survey of these singers ever written, as well as an essential guide to the Great American Songbook and those who shaped the way it has been sung. The music crosses from jazz to pop and back again, from the songs of Irving Berlin and W. C. Handy through Stephen Sondheim and beyond, bringing together straightforward jazz and pop singers (Billie Holiday, Perry Como); hybrid artists who moved among genres and combined them (Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé); the leading men and women of Broadway and Hollywood (Ethel Merman, Al Jolson); yesterday’s vaudeville and radio stars (Sophie Tucker, Eddie Cantor); and today’s cabaret artists and hit-makers (Diana Krall, Michael Bublé). Friedwald has also written extended pieces on the most representative artists of five significant genres that lie outside the songbook: Bessie Smith (blues), Mahalia Jackson (gospel), Hank Williams (country and western), Elvis Presley (rock ’n’ roll), and Bob Dylan (folk-rock). Friedwald reconsiders the personal stories and professional successes and failures of all these artists, their songs, and their performances, appraising both the singers and their music by balancing his opinions with those of fellow musicians, listeners, and critics. This magisterial reference book—ten years in the making—will delight and inform anyone with a passion for the iconic music of America, which continues to resonate throughout our popular culture.

Download or read book Human in Khaki written by Ashok Kumar and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Human in Khaki' strings together real life incidents and anecdotes of an Indian Police Service officer, who having been born and bred in a rural landscape emerges from IIT Delhi with an intention to serve, finding his true calling as a cop. Written in a 'short stories' mode, the gripping narrative brings to the fore the essence of proactive, people-oriented and effective policing. With the background of real life incidents, the stories bring out different facets of how outcomes could have been much worse, had the police not been sensitive and perceptive to the needs of the ordinary individuals, who do not have the backing of wealthy or influential people. The book addresses contemporary issues that plague modern India such as terror, the widening gap between the haves and have-nots, crime against women, the changing value system and most significantly basic police procedure that is designed to serve the powerless and yet mostly ends up serving a powerful few. It is a very bold and honest book from a serving Police Officer, which depicts stark realities of policing at district level, including the tout culture in Police Stations that keeps common man away from the Police. While the book should serve as a mirror to men in uniform and the public services about their own functioning, it will also allow the public at large a 'peep' into the working of the police and thus encourage and empower the man-on-the street to ensure that he is served with greater efficiency.
Book Synopsis The Baltic States After Independence by : The late Ole Nørgaard
Download or read book The Baltic States After Independence written by The late Ole Nørgaard and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Baltic States After Independence is an excellent and informative account of how the Baltic republics have failed. . . . This excellent book is indispensable for any scholar studying the former Soviet Union. Although this book will be a definitive reference for transition scholars, it deserves a wider audience. I would encourage every economics major to read it, or at least parts of it. Too often the economics curriculum, tainted by orthodoxy, ignores the interdependence of economics, politics, and international relations. The authors superbly demonstrate that markets do not develop independently and ahistorically, rather their development is path dependent and guided by a qualified and efficient state apparatus. I can think of no better book that disparages neoclassical orthodoxy almost to the point of irrelevancy, while at the same time vindicating the central tenets of institutionalism.' - Jack Reardon, Journal of Economic Issues Acclaim for the first edition: 'The book is of great help in understanding the Baltic states, in particular the survival of what has been referred to as the civil society and the (re)-establishment of democracy.' - Ulf Hansson, Initiative on Conflict Resolution and Ethnicity The second edition of this widely acclaimed book considers the extent to which the Baltic states have succeeded politically and economically in their aspirations to emulate Western institutions since independence. The book has been completely revised since the first edition to account for the rapid changes in the countries themselves, and in the theories that attempt to generalize the patterns of development in post-communist countries.
