Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Ornette Coleman - some of the names that brought jazz out of the age of bebop and into the present. As the medium matured in the Forties, Fifties and Sixties, an intense flowering of new styles spawned almost as many forms - free jazz, West Coast cool, hard bop, modal jazz, fusion - as musicians. All these strains come together to demonstrate that, with all the variety, one constant remains: jazz, the vibrant, living art form, is thriving. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Ob Brooks-Brothers-Anzüge in den Vierzigern, Rüschenhemden in den Sechzigern oder, in den achtziger Jahren, Sonnenbrillen wie riesige Facettenaugen Miles Davis war in Stilfragen immer ganz vorne mit dabei. Wenn er die cool pose vielleicht auch nicht erfunden hat, wenn es auch vor seiner Zeit schon verwandte Verhaltenslehren der Kälte" gab, so hat Miles Davis doch maßgeblichen Anteil an ihrer Weiterentwicklung gehabt. Der einflussreichste Musiker der Jazzgeschichte ist er ohnehin nicht zuletzt dadurch, dass er mit seiner Platte Birth of the Cool dem Cool Jazz einen Namen gegeben hat. Erst im Spannungsverhältnis von Stärke und Schwäche, von Hitze und Kälte, Strenge und Zärtlichkeit entsteht Coolness. Nirgends zeigt sich das besser als in Miles Davis' Musik: seine Trompete kann klingen wie geeist, sein Ton klar und fest, frei von Vibrato, mitunter scharf und durchdringend. Zugleich aber spielt er die zartesten Melodien, bläst er Balladen so rein und schlicht, dass einem die Tränen kommen. Diese Momente, musikalische wie biografische, betrachtet der Essay von Tobias Lehmkuhl genauer. Er erkundet, wie sich die cool pose in Davis Freundschaften und Feindschaften, seinen Liebesbeziehungen, Vorlieben und Abneigungen, in seinen politischen und ästhetischen Anschauungen, seiner Art aufzutreten und aufzuspielen, abzeichnete. /// Versand gratis Innerhalb Deutschlands - Portofrei in Deutschland- ab 20 Euro mit Post ID - Gratisversand deutschlandweit innerhalb Deutschlands gratis Versand -Versandkostenfrei innerhalb Deutschlands /// Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 260.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Welcome to the world of the sharp-suited faces. The Italianistas. The scooter-riding, all-night-dancing instigators of what became, from its myriad sources, a very British phenomenon. Mod began life as the quintessential working-class movement of a newly affluent nation a uniquely British amalgam of American music and European fashions that mixed modern jazz with modernist design in an attempt to escape the drab conformity, snobbery and prudery of life in 1950s Britain. But what started as a popular cult became a mainstream culture, and a style became a revolution. In Mod, Richard Weight tells the story of Britains biggest and most influential youth cult. He charts the origins of Mod in the Soho jazz scene of the 1950s, set to the cool sounds of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. He explores Mods heyday in Swinging London in the mid-60s to a new soundtrack courtesy of the Small Faces, the Who and the Kinks. He takes us to the ModRocker riots at Margate and Brighton, and into the world of fashion and design dominated by Twiggy, Mary Quant and Terence Conran. But Mod did not end in the 1960s. Richard Weight not only brings us up to the cults revival in the late 70s played out against its own soundtrack of Quadrophenia and the Jam but reveals Mod to be the DNA of British youth culture, leaving its mark on glam and Northern Soul, punk and Two Tone, Britpop and rave. This is the story of Britains biggest and brassiest youth movement and of its legacy. Music, film, fashion, art, architecture and design nothing was untouched by the eclectic, frenetic, irresistible energy of Mod. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A captivating portrait of those who lived, loved, fought, played and flourished in Paris between 1940 and 1950 and whose intellectual and artistic output still influences us today After the horrors of the Second World War, Paris was the place where the world's most original voices of the time came among them Norman Mailer, Miles Davis, Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Juliette Greco, Alberto Giacometti, Saul Bellow and Arthur Koestler. Fuelled by the elation of the Liberation, they hoped to find an independent and original alternative to the Capitalist and Communist models for life, art and politics a Third Way. These pioneers also reinvented their relationships with others, questioning, shaking and often rejecting the institutions of marriage and family. They consumed drugs, cigarettes and alcohol with passion; their heightened sexuality proved an inherent part of their creativity and permeated everything they did. The fertility of the interaction between literature, theatre, anthropology, philosophy, politics and cinema was unrivalled by anywhere else in the world at that time, and Paris seemed to be at the heart of all that was new and brave and controversial. Yet what did they achieve, these intellectuals in whom so much fierce hope had been placed? Post-war Parisian irresponsibility is as much the focus of Left Bank as political, artistic, moral and sexual incandescence. Agnes Poirier skilfully weaves together a collage of images and destinies and the voices clamour from the pages, as fresh, vital and challenging as when they first were raised. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: as new. Urbana-Champaign, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1999. Paperback. 368pp.Condition : as new. In this first comprehensive history, Andrea Olmstead takes us behind the scenes and into the practice rooms, studios, and offices of one of the most famous music schools in the world. The roster of Juilliard faculty and their students reads like a veritable who's who of the performing arts world. The music school has counted Josef and Rosina Lhevinne and Olga Samaroff Stokowski among its faculty, with students including Richard Rodgers, Van Cliburn, James Levine, Leontyne Price, Miles Davis, and Itzhak Perlman. The dance faculty has included Jos Limn, Anna Sokolow, and the venerable Martha Graham, while such bright lights as Robin Williams, Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, and Mandy Patinkin have emerged from the youngest department in the school, the Drama Division. What is it really like to be immersed in the rarefied, ultra-competitive conservatory atmosphere of Juilliard? Olmstead has pored over archival records and ephemeral material and conducted dozens of unprecedented interviews to paint a true picture of the school's private side and the accomplishments and foibles of its leaders. Through its various incarnations as the Institute of Musical Art, the Juilliard Musical Foundation, the Juilliard School of Music, and The Juilliard School stormy directorships and controversies have left their mark: Augustus Juilliard's multi- million-dollar bequest in 1919, the expensive move to the Lincoln Center complex, and dozens of episodes of power-brokering, arrogance, intimidation, secrecy, and infighting. Balanced against these are the vision, dedication, talent, and determination of generations of gifted teachers, students, and administrators. For nearly a century, Juilliard has trained the artists who compose the elite corps of the performing arts community in the United States.(Music in American Life). Condition : as new copy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In this unflinching, deeply personal book that expands on her instantly viral Paris Review essay, 'What Do We Do With the Art of Monstrous Men ' Claire Dederer asks: Can we love the work of Hemingway, Polanski, Naipaul, Miles Davis, or Picasso Should we love it Does genius deserve special dispensation Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss She explores the audience's relationship with artists from Woody Allen to Michael Jackson, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster in order to create something great. And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'An illuminating selection of writings on a wide variety of topics -- everything from technique, music theory, and daily routine to spirituality and systemic racism -- from the personal journals of Sonny Rollins, master of the tenor saxophone and 'jazz's greatest living improviser' (The New York Times). Sonny Rollins is one of the towering masters of American music, a virtuoso of the saxophone and an unequaled improviser whose live performances are legendary and who reshaped modern jazz time and time again over the course of a career lasting more than sixty years. Throughout the greater part of it, Rollins also maintained a notebook in which he sketched in words and images as he pondered art and life and his own search for meaning. The Not Elektronisches Buch of Sonny Rollins provides an unequaled glimpse into the mind and workshop of a musical titan, along with a wealth of insight and inspiration to readers. In the fall of 1959, Rollins famously took a break from performing and recording. He turned to practicing for long hours, often late at night, on the Williamsburg Bridge, and it was then for the first time that he began to turn regularly to his not Elektronisches Buch, which at the time and in the years to come proved for him an indispensable instrument of change in their own right. Here Rollins can tend towards the aphoristic, as in 'Face the startling and intriguing reality that there is within me a force working hard for my own destruction, even as I try to improve.' Elsewhere, music is front and center, as he mingles observations on embouchure, fingering, and technique with reflections on harmony and dissonance. Lists of daily chores, rehearsal routines, reflections on particular tours and recordings (including detailed notes on how Rollins wanted live albums to be edited), and a steady stream of notes on diet and health also find their way into the not Elektronisches Buch, as do ruminations on systemic racism and the way nightclub culture degrades jazz musicians. Rollins emphatically resists claims that jazz should be considered solely as an African American art form, protesting the diminishment that is caused to jazz musicians by labeling their work 'racial music.' 'The point to be absorbed here, ' he writes, 'is that any definition which seeks to separate Johann Sebastian Bach from Miles Davis is defeating its own purpose of clarification. The musings of Miles is then the bouncing of Bach both played against each other.' Carefully selected and including an informative introduction by critic and scholar Sam Reese, The Not Elektronisches Buch of Sonny Rollins makes a vital and fascinating document of American culture publicly available for the first time'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The National Bestseller One of The Minneapolis Star Tribune's Best Books of the Year"A superb book.[Kaplan is] a master biographer, a dogged researcher and shaper of narrative, and this is his most ambitious book to date."Los Angeles TimesFrom the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, the story of three towering artistsMiles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evansand how they came together to create the most iconic jazz album of all time, Kind of BlueIn 1959, America's great indigenous art form, jazz, reached the height of its power and popularity. James Kaplan's magnificent 3 Shades of Blue captures how that golden era came to be, and its pinnacle with the recording of Kind of Blue. It's a book about music, and business, and race, and heroin, and the cities that gave jazz its home, and the Black geniuses behind its rise. It's an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange environments where it can flourish most. It's a book about the great forebears and founders of a lost era, and the disrupters who would take the music down truly new paths. And it's about why the world of jazz most people know is a museum to this never-replicated period. But above all, 3 Shades of Blue is a book about three very different menthe greatness and varied fortunes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan's hands, a national odyssey with no direction home. It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.

Frisches und sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar in gutem Zustand mit Original-Schutzumschlag. // Texte englisch. - Miles Dewey Davis III. (* 26. Mai 1926 in Alton, Illinois; 28. September 1991 in Santa Monica, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Trompeter, -Flügelhornist, Komponist und Bandleader und einer der einflussreichsten Jazzmusiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nachdem er an der sogenannten Bebop-Revolution teilgenommen hatte, beeinflusste Davis maßgeblich die Entwicklung unterschiedlicher Jazz-Stile wie Cool Jazz, Hard Bop, modalen Jazz und Jazzrock. Sowohl als Instrumentalist als auch als kreativer Geist gelang es Miles Davis, seine eigenen künstlerischen Ideen zu verwirklichen und gleichzeitig kommerziell erfolgreich zu sein. Erste Berühmtheit erlangte Miles Davis als Bebop-Jazzer und Sideman von Charlie Parker. In den 46 Jahren seines musikalischen Schaffens arbeitete er mit Musikern wie John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin und Gil Evans zusammen. Da er regelmäßig talentierte Musiker, von denen er neue Impulse erwartete, in seine Band holte und ihnen Raum zur Entfaltung gab, verdanken zahlreiche Jazz-Größen ihren Durchbruch als Musiker der Zusammenarbeit mit Davis. --- INHALT / Contents: November 26, 1957, "Self, portrait by Miles Davis", interviewer George Avakian - December 1958, "An afternoon with Miles Davis", interviewer Nat Hentoff - August 1964, "Miles Davis : winner take all", interviewer Lionel Olay - January 22, 1968, "I don't have to hold the audience's hand", interviewer Arthur Taylor - May 1969, "The Miles Davis : a semi-affectionate reminiscence", interviewer John Palcewski - 1969, "Talking to Les Tompkins", interviewer Les Tompkins - March 23, 1970, "Miles of music", interviewer Hubert Saal - May 26, 1970, "A national treasure" / by Al Aronowitz - September 1970, "Faded blue flowers" / by Al Aronowitz - November 27, 1971, "The unmasking of Miles Davis", interviewer Chris Albertson - 1972, "Miles", interviewer Leonard Feather - March 21, 1973, "My ego only needs a good rhythm section", interviewer Stephen Davis - 1975, "Interview at Northern Illinois University", interviewer Jimmy Saunders - Late 1976/early 1977, "At the movies with Miles" / by Mary Bringle (April 2007) - Late 1970s, "Hangin' out with Daffy Davis" / by Eric Nisenson - August 3, 1980, "Miles Davis's house-telephone interview, N.Y.C.", interviewer Kishur Manwar - June 28, 1981, "I just pick up my horn and play", interviewer George Goodman Jr. - March 1982, "The man with the horn", interviewer Cheryl McCall - Circa mid-1980s, Excerpts from "Three anonymous interviews", interviewers unknown - September 29, 1983, "Searching for Miles : theme and variations on the life of a trumpeter", interviewer David Breskin - January 1986, "Miles Davis", interviewer Ben Sidran - May 1986, "Lightening up with the Prince of Darkness", interviewer Nick Kent - October 1987, "Miles Davis : the Picasso of invisible art", interviewer Robert L.

Zustand: Gut. 168 S.; Illustr.; 21 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband berieben. - Englisch. // In this volume, one of the most perceptive, opinionated, and vigorous of the young writers puts down the shoddy and the incidental figures, and lines out the reasons for the titans' pre-eminence. It is a useful book of short biographical notes and selective discographies, and in that sense it is "encyclopedic." But it is a personal work, first, and Reisner's views are not apt to be endorsed everywhere. Among the Reisner readers is jazz teacher and historian Marshall Stearns, who describes his work as "tasty, capsule commentary by one of the few original minds in jazz writing." A special feature is "The Parlance of Hip," the most up-to-date and authentic dictionary of a dynamic, sardonic argot. // INHALT : INTRO --- Count Basie, Art Blakey, Jimmy Blanton, Clifford Brown, Charlie Christian, Kenny Clark, Miles Davis, Billy Eckstine, Duke Ellington, Art Farmer, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Gigi Gryce, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday, Milt Jackson, J.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The acclaimed classic biography, fully revised, becomes the definitive. The revised edition of Ian Carr's classic biography of Miles Davis throws new light on his life and career from the early days in New York, with Charlie Parker, to his Birth of the Cool band, through his drug addiction in the early 1950s, and the years of extraordinary achievements, 1954-1960, during which he created a whole series of masterpieces on record, and drew to his band such unequalled talents as John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly and Cannonball Adderly.Carr also gives a detailed description of Miles's dark reclusive period, 1975-1980, and his descent towards disintegration. He also tells how the events of one single day forced Davis to turn back to life and return slowly to music.The incessant activity of his last ten years - the music-making, his painting and art exhibitions, his extraordinary trumpet playing, his marriage to and divorce from Cicely Tyson - is recounted with fascinating insight. Miles Davis, whose work has been called 'one of the greatest musical legacies of the twentieth century', remained controversial until the end, and this definitive biography examines the controversy from all sides.With access to the inner circle of Davis's friends and associates, Ian Carr includes new interviews with such jazz greats as Max Roach, George Russell, George Avakian, Ron Carter, John Carisi, John Scofield, Bill Evans and Jack and Lydia DeJohnette, and revisits those who contributed to the first edition, including Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, Joe Zawinul and Paul Buckmaster. This new, revised edition is an essential source for those who want to understand Miles, his music and the 'jazz life'.
