Download or read book Miles Davis written by Jennifer Warner and published by BookCaps Study Guides. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20th century produced only a handful of musicians who could be called geniuses – people who would have achieved timeless fame no matter when they were born. Miles Davis is one of those individuals. He primarily played the trumpet, though he was an accomplished multi-instrumentalist. His signature style was minimalist and improvisational. Those closest to him described a shy person who used anger and arrogance as a shield to keep others away. Likewise, his addictive personality – he battled drugs and alcohol for virtually his entire adult life – made his creative achievements all the more remarkable. Miles died younger than he might have were it not for those self-destructive tendencies, but not before creating dozens of the most important jazz albums in the history of the genre. This book explores Davis’ fascinating life.

Well-known Coltrane biographer and jazz educator Lewis Porter has assembled an international team of scholars to write The John Coltrane Reference, an indispensable guide to the life and music of John Coltrane. The John Coltrane Reference features a a day-by-day chronology, which extends from 1926-1967, detailing Coltrane's early years and every live performance given by Coltrane as either a sideman or leader, and a discography offering full session information from the first year of recordings, 1946, to the last, 1967. The appendices list every film and television appearance, as well as every recorded interview. Richly illustrated with over 250 album covers and photos from the collection of Yasuhiro Fujioka, The John Coltrane Reference will find a place in every major library supporting a jazz studies program, as well as John Coltrane enthusiasts.

Download or read book A Supreme Love written by William Edgar and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Arts and Culture ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and understood in relation to the Christian faith? In this volume, theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel, which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news of Jesus Christ. Grab a table. The show is about to begin.

Download or read book Miles on Miles written by Paul Maher and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miles on Miles collects the thirty most vital Miles Davis interviews. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what Miles Davis thought about his music, life, and philosophy, Miles on Miles reveals the jazz icon as a complex and contradictory man, secretive at times but extraordinarily revealing at others. Miles was not only a musical genius, but an enigma, and nowhere else was he so compelling, exasperating, and entertaining as in his interviews, which vary from polite to outrageous, from straight-ahead to contrarian. Even his autobiography lacks the immediacy of the dialogues collected here. Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather, Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff. Others have never before seen print, are newly transcribed from radio and television shows, or appeared in long-forgotten magazines. Since Miles Davis's 1991 death, his influence has continued to grow. But until now, no book has brought back to life his inimitable voice--contemplative, defiant, elegant, uncompromising, and humorous. Miles on Miles will long remain the definitive source for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE AUTHOR After I returned to prison, I took a long look at myself, and for the first time in my life, admitted that I was wrong, that I had gone astray; astray not so much from the law as from being human, civilized. Even though I had some insight into my own motivations, I did not feel justified. I lost my self-respect. My whole fragile moral structure seemed to collapse, completely shattered. That is when I started to write, to save myself. Eldridge Cleaver All right, ladies and gents, get ready to hold onto your seats as I lead you back through the labyrinth of mystery, sex, violence and philosophy, in this my second venture into the world of fiction writing, “Stories from the Pen of a Prisoner, Volume Two.” It will be an exciting and entertaining ride. First stop will be a reunion with Renee, a leading character in my first venture into the art of story writing. If you have not read that lead story, Renee, you owe it to yourself to go out and purchase your copy of “Stories from the Pen of a Prisoner, Volume One.” (Marcus Stockton)
Book Synopsis Popular Music and Automobiles by : Mark Duffett
Download or read book Popular Music and Automobiles written by Mark Duffett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particularly since the 1950s, cars and popular music have been constantly associated. As complementary goods and intertwined technologies, their relationship has become part of a widely shared experience-one that connects individuals and society, private worlds and public spheres. Popular Music and Automobiles aims to unpack that relationship in more detail. It explores the ways in which cars and car journeys have shaped society, as well as how we have shaped them. Including both broad synergies and specific case studies, Popular Music and Automobiles explores how attention to an ongoing relationship can reveal insights about the assertion and negotiation of identity. Using methods of enquiry that are as diverse as the topics they tackle, its contributors closely consider specific genders, genres, places and texts.
Download or read book Jazz Cultures written by David Ake and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-01-07 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ake blends careful historical research with intelligent textual criticism and sophisticated cultural theory. . . His critiques augment and enhance our understanding and appreciation of great artistry, but they do much more. This is new, imaginative, original, and generative work. There are very few people who can write about both music theory and social theory with such clarity, depth, and insight."—George Lipsitz, author of Dangerous Crossroads: Popular Music, Postmodernism and the Poetics of Place "David Ake is a jazz artist who has woodshedded with his critical theory as much as with his instrument. As an astute commentator on a wide range of jazz subjects, he has the virtuosity of an Art Tatum and the eclecticism of a John Zorn."—Krin Gabbard, author of Jammin' at the Margins: Jazz and the American Cinema "David Ake's writing combines the best of modern scholarship with the no-nonsense attitude of a gigging musician. In Jazz Cultures, he seizes upon precisely those issues and historical moments that best reveal how jazz studies might mature into something worthy of the music. A wonderful antidote to the usual cliches of jazz history and a splendid debut."—Scott DeVeaux, author of The Birth of Bebop
