Download or read book Roll With It written by Matt Sakakeeny and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roll With It is a firsthand account of the precarious lives of musicians in the Rebirth, Soul Rebels, and Hot 8 brass bands of New Orleans. These young men are celebrated as cultural icons for upholding the proud traditions of the jazz funeral and the second line parade, yet they remain subject to the perils of poverty, racial marginalization, and urban violence that characterize life for many black Americans. Some achieve a degree of social mobility while many more encounter aggressive policing, exploitative economies, and a political infrastructure that creates insecurities in healthcare, housing, education, and criminal justice. The gripping narrative moves with the band members from back street to backstage, before and after Hurricane Katrina, always in step with the tap of the snare drum, the thud of the bass drum, and the boom of the tuba.

In the only book to cover this revival, Burns interviews members from a variety of bands, including the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band, the Dirty Dozen, Tuba Fats' Chosen Few, and the Rebirth Brass Band.

Book Synopsis Can’t Be Faded by : Stooges Brass Band
Download or read book Can’t Be Faded written by Stooges Brass Band and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stooges Brass Band always had big dreams. From playing in the streets of New Orleans in the mid-1990s to playing stages the world over, they have held fast to their goal of raising brass band music and musicians to new heights—professionally and musically. In the intervening years, the band’s members have become family, courted controversy, and trained a new generation of musicians, becoming one of the city’s top brass bands along the way. Two decades after their founding, they have decided to tell their story. Can’t Be Faded: Twenty Years in the New Orleans Brass Band Game is a collaboration between musician and ethnomusicologist Kyle DeCoste and more than a dozen members of the Stooges Brass Band, past and present. It is the culmination of five years of interviews, research, and writing. Told with humor and candor, it’s as much a personal account of the Stooges’ careers as it is a story of the city’s musicians and, even more generally, a coming-of-age tale about black men in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. DeCoste and the band members take readers into the barrooms, practice rooms, studios, tour vans, and streets where the music is made and brotherhoods are shaped and strengthened. Comprised of lively firsthand accounts and honest dialogue, Can’t Be Faded is a dynamic approach to collaborative research that offers a sensitive portrait of the humans behind the horns.
Book Synopsis Brass Bands of the World: Militarism, Colonial Legacies, and Local Music Making by : Suzel Ana Reily
Download or read book Brass Bands of the World: Militarism, Colonial Legacies, and Local Music Making written by Suzel Ana Reily and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bands structured around western wind instruments are among the most widespread instrumental ensembles in the world. Although these ensembles draw upon European military traditions that spread globally through colonialism, militarism and missionary work, local musicians have adapted the brass band prototype to their home settings, and today these ensembles are found in religious processions and funerals, military manoeuvres and parades, and popular music genres throughout the world. Based on their expertise in ethnographic and archival research, the contributors to this volume present a series of essays that examine wind band cultures from a range of disciplinary perspectives, allowing for a comparison of band cultures across geographic and historical fields. The themes addressed encompass the military heritage of band cultures; local appropriations of the military prototype; links between bands and their local communities; the spheres of local band activities and the modes of sociability within them; and the role of bands in trajectories toward professional musicianship. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in ethnomusicology, colonial and post-colonial studies, community music practices, as well as anyone who has played with or listened to their local band.

Book Synopsis The Development of Civil War Brass Band Instruments Into Modern-day Brass Band Instruments with a Related Teaching Unit for a High School General Music Course by : Joseph M. Lewis (Jr.)
Download or read book The Development of Civil War Brass Band Instruments Into Modern-day Brass Band Instruments with a Related Teaching Unit for a High School General Music Course written by Joseph M. Lewis (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to trace the development of civil war brass band instruments into modern-day brass band instruments and (b) to design a related teaching unit for a high school general music course. Historical sources for this study were books, scholarly articles, photographs of instruments, audio and video recordings, and music scores. I traced in this study the design, development, and uses during the Civil War of keyed bugles, ophicleides, and saxhorns. I then discussed how these transitioned to more modern brass band instruments, specifically keyed bugles to the trumpet and cornet, ophicleides to the sousaphone, and saxhorns to other instruments. I interviewed Mr. Mark Elrod, the foremost expert on Civil War band instruments, about the design characteristics of Civil War era band instruments that have influenced the design of modern-day band instruments, way in which Civil War band instrumentation has affected the instrumentation of today's school bands, and the importance for students in school music education programs to study Civil War era bands and music. Based upon the information acquired from these historical sources and the interview with Mr. Mark Elrod, I designed a three-week teaching unit titled "The Blue and the Gray: A Teaching Unit for a High School General Music Course." Students in this course will use web-based instruction and chat boards, have hands-on learning experiences that include holding brass instruments from the Civil War and the modern instruments that developed from them. Students will also view and intelligently critique recordings and videos of Civil War re-enactment bands and listen to an invited guest who is an expert in Civil War era brass bands. Less.
