Book Synopsis The Vienna Jazz Trio by : Tomas Böhm
Download or read book The Vienna Jazz Trio written by Tomas Böhm and published by Natur & Kultur. This book was released on 2002-05-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En kärleksförklaring till jazzen, men också en fascinerande berättelse om några okuvliga människor. Bakgrunden är det lidande som genom nazismen och Förintelsen drabbade oändligt många människor – och hela den idémässiga miljö som en gång blomstrade i Europa och det kosmopolitiska Wien. I ett hus nära stillahavsstranden i San Diego sitter en gammal man, Nathan Menzel, och låter sig intervjuas av en journalist om sitt liv som pianist och författare. Hans berättelse tar sin början i Wien på 20-talet, där han med två vänner bildade The Vienna Jazz Trio. Vi följer vännerna i den socialistiska gruppen, på spelningar och i kontakten med psykoanalytikerna i Wien, en stad som sjuder av både musiktradition och diskussioner om socialism, psykoanalys och judendom. Samtidigt växer sig antisemitismen och fascismen allt starkare och kampen med den socialistiska arbetarrörelsen utspelar sig på gator och politiska möten. Författaren flätar samman sina romanfigurers öden med dokumentära historiska händelser i mellankrigstidens Wien, liksom med verkliga personer: jazzmusiker, forskare och psykoanalytiker. När katastrofen närmar sig Wien i slutet på 30-talet utvecklas historien till en alltmer grym och tragisk skildring av det mänskliga sammanbrottet. The Vienna Jazz Trio ger en bred och inträngande lektion i samtidshistoria, fylld av engagemang. Blandningen av storpolitik, jazz och psykoanalys bidrar också till oförutsägbarheten i berättarglädjen. Tomas Böhm är författare och psykoanalytiker verksam i Stockholm. Han har tidigare gett ut bl.a. fackböckerna Efter förälskelsen, Om otrohet, Ska du säga!, Inte som vi, Att ha rätt, och romanerna Fjällturen, Biggles tappar håret, Nödutgång och Adamsäpplen och huvudvärk.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Jewish Writing in Sweden by : Peter Stenberg
Download or read book Contemporary Jewish Writing in Sweden written by Peter Stenberg and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together for the first time the works of Jewish authors writing in Swedish, who describe the special circumstances confronting Jews in the twentieth century in Sweden and Scandinavia. During the Second World War, Sweden?s small, long-established, and well-assimilated Jewish community was never subject to the open and ultimately fatal ethnic identification that most European Jews suffered. Older and middle-aged Swedish-born Jewish authors tend to think of themselves only as Swedes. Within the last few decades, however, Sweden has become an immigrant country, and a younger generation writes from a different perspective. Twenty of the twenty-two authors represented in this anthology are still very active, and many of the pieces were written in the last fifteen years. Each work chosen illustrates some aspect of Jewish identity in Sweden, either today or in the course of a century in which Sweden played a crucial, controversially neutral role in a war that had a catastrophic impact on Europe and led to the near-annihilation of the European Jews. This volume provides the complex historical framework in which these events occurred and elucidates the role played by the largest Scandinavian country within it. Contemporary Jewish Writing in Sweden brings together superb work by major writers in one of Europe's foremost national literatures and includes the first English translation of an excerpt from Peter Weiss's recently discovered 1957 Swedish novel.
Book Synopsis The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives by : Nicholas Gebhardt
Download or read book The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives written by Nicholas Gebhardt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives: This Is Our Music documents the emergence of collective movements in jazz and improvised music. Jazz history is most often portrayed as a site for individual expression and revolves around the celebration of iconic figures, while the networks and collaborations that enable the music to maintain and sustain its cultural status are surprisingly under-investigated. This collection explores the history of musician-led collectives and the ways in which they offer a powerful counter-model for rethinking jazz practices in the post-war period. It includes studies of groups including the New York Musicians Organization, Sweden’s Ett minne för livet, Wonderbrass from South Wales, the contemporary Dutch jazz-hip hop scene, and Austria‘s JazzWerkstatt. With an international list of contributors and examples from Europe and the United States, these twelve essays and case studies examine issues of shared aesthetic vision, socioeconomic and political factors, local education, and cultural values among improvising musicians.
Download or read book Revenge written by Tomas Bohm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revenge motif appears in a number of arenas and in different cultures. We need to be mindful of its existence in order to discover how common it is. We can then learn to recognize when destructive revenge spirals are developing. By extension, we thus gain a basis for stopping these spirals successfully before they have gone too far. We can also learn what function revenge plays and has played in various contexts. A short overview of revenge as a motif in literature, film, culture, religion, and at work is therefore given as an introduction to our study of revenge.

Book Synopsis The Jazz Republic by : Jonathan O. Wipplinger
Download or read book The Jazz Republic written by Jonathan O. Wipplinger and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jazz Republic examines jazz music and the jazz artists who shaped Germany’s exposure to this African American art form from 1919 through 1933. Jonathan O. Wipplinger explores the history of jazz in Germany as well as the roles that music, race (especially Blackness), and America played in German culture and follows the debate over jazz through the fourteen years of Germany’s first democracy. He explores visiting jazz musicians including the African American Sam Wooding and the white American Paul Whiteman and how their performances were received by German critics and artists. The Jazz Republic also engages with the meaning of jazz in debates over changing gender norms and jazz’s status between paradigms of high and low culture. By looking at German translations of Langston Hughes’s poetry, as well as Theodor W. Adorno’s controversial rejection of jazz in light of racial persecution, Wipplinger examines how jazz came to be part of German cultural production more broadly in both the US and Germany, in the early 1930s. Using a wide array of sources from newspapers, modernist and popular journals, as well as items from the music press, this work intervenes in the debate over the German encounter with jazz by arguing that the music was no mere “symbol” of Weimar’s modernism and modernity. Rather than reflecting intra-German and/or European debates, it suggests that jazz and its practitioners, African American, white American, Afro-European, German and otherwise, shaped Weimar culture in a central way.

The book is about the history of the German Staff Band. But not only that. The book also covers a small part of the beginnings of the largest brass band movement in Germany and the general development of Salvation Army brass band music in this country from its beginning towards the end of the 19th Century, the glory days of the 1920s and the difficult times after the First and Second World Wars with all the ensuing problems and hindrances for Salvation Army music there. It was not until 1989 that it again became possible to reestablish a Staff Band as a brass band at the Territorial Headquarters in Germany.
Book Synopsis The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz by : the late Leonard Feather
Download or read book The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz written by the late Leonard Feather and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to know when Duke Ellington was king of The Cotton Club? Have you ever wondered how old Miles Davis was when he got his first trumpet? From birth dates to gig dates and from recordings to television specials, Leonard Feather and Ira Gitler have left no stone unturned in their quest for accurate, detailed information on the careers of 3.300 jazz musicians from around the world. We learn that Duke Ellington worked his magic at The Cotton Club from 1927 to 1931, and that on Miles Davis's thirteenth birthday, his father gave him his first trumpet. Jazz is fast moving, and this edition clearly and concisely maps out an often dizzying web of professional associations. We find, for instance, that when Miles Davis was a St. Louis teenager he encountered Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie for the first time. This meeting proved fateful, and by 1945 a nineteen-year-old Davis had left Juilliard to play with Parker on 52nd Street. Knowledge of these professional alliances, along with the countless others chronicled in this book, are central to tracing the development of significant jazz movements, such as the "cool jazz" that became one of Miles Davis's hallmarks. Arranged alphabetically according to last name, each entry of this book chronologically lists the highlights of every jazz musician's career. Highly accessible and vigorously researched, The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz is, quite simply, the most comprehensive jazz encyclopedia available.

Book Synopsis Psychoanalysis Comparable and Incomparable by : David Tuckett
Download or read book Psychoanalysis Comparable and Incomparable written by David Tuckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we know when what is happening between two people should be called psychoanalysis? What is a psychoanalytic process and how do we know when one is taking place? Psychoanalysis Comparable and Incomparable describes the rationale and ongoing development of a six year programme of highly original meetings conducted by the European Psychoanalytic Federation Working Party on Comparative Clinical Methods. The project comprises over seventy cases discussed by more than five hundred experienced psychoanalysts over the course of sixty workshops. Authored by a group of leading European psychoanalysts, this book explores ways for psychoanalysts using different approaches to learn from each other when they present their work to fellow psychoanalysts, and provides tools for the individual practitioner to examine and improve his or her own approach. As described in detail in its pages, sticking to the task led to some surprising experiences, raising fundamental questions about the way clinical discussion and supervision are conducted in psychoanalysis. Well known by many in the psychoanalytic community and the object of much interest and debate, this project is described by those who have had the closest contact with it and will satisfy a widely held curiosity in psychoanalysts and psychotherapists throughout the world. David Tuckett is winner of the 2007 Sigourney Award.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Guitar and Lute Composers by : Hannu Annala
Download or read book Handbook of Guitar and Lute Composers written by Hannu Annala and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In compiling this landmark sourcebook, Finnish guitarists Hannu Annala and Heiki Matlik consulted more than 70 music texts as well as dozens of composer resumes acquired from the musical information centers of several countries. During the writing process, which lasted for more than three years, they received additional information from many modern composers, including Leo Brouwer and Reginald Smith Brindle among others. In addition, several internationally renowned performing guitarists provided valuable information; these include Magnus Andersson (Sweden), Remi Boucher (Canada), Margarita Escarpa (Spain), Aleksander Frauchi (Russia) and David Tanenbaum (USA) among others.The authors' aim was to write a well-structured book with separate chapters for each instrument, such as the Renaissance and Baroque guitar, the Renaissance and Baroque lute, the vihuela, etc. This unique structure enables the reader to easily discover which composers wrote for a certain instrument during any given period.In addition to the composers one would expect to find in such a comprehensive listing, the book documents several historical and modern composers for whom little previous information has been available. the book's list of more than 400 guitar and lute concertos dating from the Baroque era to the present day is a totally unprecedented.Short introductions regarding guitar and lute-like instruments as well as their basic histories are provided at the beginning of the book. the authors hope that the Handbook of Guitar and Lute Composers will serve as a practical guide for both amateurs and professionals, encouraging further study of the history of these instruments and expanding the repertoire heard on today's concert stage.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Asian Philosophies in Music Education by : C. Victor Fung
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Asian Philosophies in Music Education written by C. Victor Fung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the collective wisdom of Asian philosophies and their implications for music education. All twenty chapters are written by highly regarded philosophers and music educators steeped in various Asian traditions. These chapters will include an explanation of a prominent philosophical tradition, evidence in a contemporary music teaching and learning settings (including its inception and historical development along with an explanation of how the philosophical tradition works in contemporary music education), and suggestions for potential directions in the near and distant future. The book is organized into five sections. Section I is based on Chinese philosophical traditions, which have the longest history and are some of the most influential across Asia and beyond. Chapters in Section II present a snapshot of Japanese and Korean views, beginning with the musical practices in the Joseon Period (1392-1910) that are still being practiced in South Korea today to Western influences in 19th century Japan. A collection of philosophical traditions from South and Southeast Asia are contained in Section III, ranging from the insights of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King Rama IX of Thailand, an accomplished jazz musician, to the Balinese notion of taksu, a form of supreme energy and divine power crucial for compelling performances in the performing arts. We venture into the Islamic and the Middle Eastern world in Section IV, where the dance practices of the Hadhrami Arabs in the Malay Archipelago to traditional sharah music are contextualized within Islamic philosophy. This section also describes the philosophical ideas of the 12th-century Persian philosopher and founder of the Illuminationist (Ishraq) philosophy, Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi, arguing that his ideas have much to recommend music education, as this approach requires students to listen in deeper ways, absorb more abundantly, and move beyond arts education to encompass the education of the whole person. Section V concludes with a metaphorical view on a New Silk Road in music education in the 21st century, where ideas are traded for mutual benefit and the development multicultural philosophies of music education. While there are numerous publications on the philosophy of music education rooted in the Western philosophical traditions of ancient Greece, the Asian philosophical voice is virtually silent outside of Asia, and this volume aims to begin the long process of redressing this imbalance. This volume will open readers to the richness of Asian philosophical sources and hopefully stimulate dialogues that could generate new insights and directions for further development, cross-pollination, and application of some of the world's earliest philosophical traditions.
