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.

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. Writer, musicologist, archivist, singer, DJ, filmmaker, record, radio and TV producer, Alan Lomax was a man of many parts. Without him the history of popular music would have been very different. Armed with a tape-recorder and his own near-flawless good taste, Lomax spent years travelling the US, particularly the south, recording its heritage of music and song for posterity, bringing to light the talents of performers ranging from Jelly Roll Morton to Leadbelly and Muddy Waters, and crucially influencing generations of musicians from Pete Seeger to the Stones, from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan. His influence continues: recordings made by Lomax are the core of the sound-tracks of Oh Brother, Where art Thou? and Gangs of New York, and even featured, remixed, on Moby's Play. John Szwed's biography is the first ever of this remarkable and contradictory man (whom he both knew and worked with for ten years); through it Szwed will tell the story of a musical and political era, as he did so successfully in his previous book on Miles Davis.

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.

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. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

paperback. Zustand: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesenes, vollständiges Exemplar; in sehr gutem Zustand mit leichten Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -Few British jazz musicians have been at the cutting edge of as many movements as the late Ian Carr. A pioneer bebop player in his youth, a colleague of Eric Burdon and John McLaughlin in the R'n'B explosion of the 60s, co-leader of one of Britain's most innovative jazz groups - the Rendell-Carr Quintet, a free-jazz colleague of John Stevens and Trevor Watts, and the founding father of jazz rock in the UK, with his band Nucleus, Carr's musical career alone is truly remarkable, and a one-man history of British jazz in the 60s and 70s. Add to that his work as a member of the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble, and with such distinguished leaders as George Russell, Stan Tracey and Mike Gibbs, and his work as a player seems even more remarkable.Yet Ian Carr was also one of the most perceptive critical writers and broadcasters about jazz, being not only the co-author of the Rough Guide, but also the celebrated biographer of Keith Jarrett and Miles Davis. In recent years he transformed his writing talents into making innovative and prizewinning films on the music he loved, for which he had always been a fearless and outspoken advocate, from the time of his 1973 book Music Outside. As a teacher, his pupils have included such stellar British talents as Julian Joseph, the Mondesir brothers and Nikki Yeoh. He had been a professor of jazz at London's Guildhall School of Music since the 1980s and was founder of the jazz workshop at the Interchange arts scheme.In this full length biography, Alyn Shipton examines the fascinating mix of ingredients that comprised the man and his music, and in the process draws a vivid picture of Carr's home region, the North-East of England, of National Service, of such literary influences as W. Somerset Maughan, of post-war continental Europe and its Bohemian arts scene, and of the London jazz world from the 1960s onwards. The book shows that jazz does not have to have an American accent to be original and innovative, and to inspire audiences all around the world.\\nOriginalBarCode: 9781845532222 232 pp. Englisch.

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 - '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 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'.

Audio-CD. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Als REGENER PAPPIK BUSCH überraschten Sven Regener (Trompete), Richard Pappik (Schlagzeug) und Ekki Busch (Klavier), alle drei bekannt als Musiker der Gruppe ELEMENT OF CRIME im letzten Jahr mit Ask Me Now, einer Jazzplatte der ganz besonderen Art. Und gelangten damit auch gleich an die Spitze der Deutschen Jazz Charts im Monat März. Nun legen sie nach mit Things To Come. Und auch auf dem zweiten Album bleiben sie ihrem Konzept treu: Klassikern des Modernen Jazz eine neue, eigenwillige, vor allem aber auch wilde und exzentrische Interpretation zu geben. REGENER PAPPIK BUSCH sind ein durchaus ungewöhnliches Trio. Der Sound ist zuweilen hart und direkt, zuweilen aber auch ausgesprochen zärtlich und cool. Sie schlängeln sich - zwischen Minimalismus, musikalischem Brutalismus und Jazzklassizismus changierend - durch ein Repertoire ausgesprochen berühmter Stücke von Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman et alteri und drücken ihnen ihren eigenen, unverwechselbaren Stempel auf. Der Blues als Brücke, als wichtiges Element, gepaart mit der Liebe zum Modernen, zum etwas Schrägen, zum Avantgardistischen, was sowohl ELEMENT OF CRIME im Rock, als auch REGENER PAPPIK BUSCH im Jazz auszeichnet.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For years I have wanted to write like William Turner paints, like Chopin, John Coltrane and Miles Davis compose and make music. There is something about bringing the completeness of the feeling, the sky, the space, the surround. It is an above and beyond overboarding im-precision or perhaps it is hitting the notes and tones just so, a kind of free style playing of compositions not necessarily seen or spoken but felt, intuited, - defintely spatial.Color Writing is this attempt are these essays then, accompanied by paintings.Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat.

Every major record label is bring-ing out jazz reissues and new releases, and dating couples are turning up in the jazz clubs alongside the usual middle-aged male fans. But this popularity comes at a cost:Jazz has become identified with its past, and especially with bebop, the style that first dominated the jazz scene in the forties and fifties. Bebop started out as a daring departure from the Conventions of Swing, but ironically, many listeners and musicians now experience this style as a comfortable orthodoxy that defines the limits of jazz. In his third collection of essays, Francis Davis shares his insights into this new jazz main-stream: the greatness of its sources, the sterility of Performance that follows those sources too closely. He also conveys his listening experi-ences beyond the mainstreamfrom the futur-istic jazz of the avant-garde to the preforties styles that some performers continue to devel-op, at the risk of being labeled old hat. Finally, Davis leaves behind the boundaries of jazz alto-gether, pursuing its adventurous spirit into a broader musical territory that includes musical theatre, rock, and rap. The book is organized in four sections, the first focused on well-known musicians who represent the jazz mainstream, including such flgures as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis. The second section Covers some alternative directions that enliven today's jazz scene, from thirties-style swing to sixties-style free jazz. In the third section Davis writes about music so near the edge it may not be jazz at all, like Sun Ra's outer-space extravaganzas and Don Byron's African-American klez music. A final section examines a broader swath of populär music, ranging from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney to Michael Jackson and Prince. ISBN 9780028704715 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 360.

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 19 x 23,5 cm, 172 pages, 31 color and 64 bw. illustrations - Banks Violette and Gerald Matt present artists from different genres who share in a common fascination for the moral chasms of criminality. The seductive lore of the entire "noir" complex between nightmare and world loss is parsed and probed in art, literature, film and music. Dashiell Hammet's 1930 novel "The Maltese Falcon" first established the American noir series that describes a society exemplarily with the figure of the hard-boiled private detective who himself is at home in the illegal milieu portrayed in which the disillusioned anti-hero has lost any belief in a state of happiness. In the perfectly matched film by John Huston in 1941, which made Humphrey Bogart famous, Hollywood discovered the detective movie. Miles Davis provided the sound for the film music of Louis Malle's "L'Ascenseur de l'échafoud," an audible commentary on the frame of mind of a disoriented postwar generation between the wars in Indo-China and Algeria. The New York police photographer, Weegee, bequeathed us thousands of pictures of murderers and murder victims, gangsters and gawking onlookers that make up an impressive iconography of crime. The young New York artist, Banks Violette, in his sculptural and installative works, takes up aspects of this noir tradition and carries it over to the milieu of black-romantic youth cultures from the past twenty years, such as Black Metal or Neo Goth.
