"Voices of the Country" presents interviews with innovative musicians, producers, and songwriters who shaped the last fifty years of country music. From Eddy Arnold's new, smoother approach to song delivery to Loretta Lynn's take-no-prisoners feminism, these people opened new vistas in country music - and American culture. Streissguth is a sensitive and knowledgeable interviewer: he gets beyond the standard publicity tales to the heart of the real voice - and real experiences - of these important figures.
Nat Hentoff, renowned jazz critic, civil liberties activist, and fearless contrarian—"I’m a Jewish atheist civil-libertarian pro-lifer"—has lived through much of jazz’s history and has known many of jazz’s most important figures, often as friend and confidant. Hentoff has been a tireless advocate for the neglected parts of jazz history, including forgotten sidemen and -women. This volume includes his best recent work—short essays, long interviews, and personal recollections. From Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman and Quincy Jones, Hentoff brings the jazz greats to life and traces their art to gospel, blues, and many other forms of American music. At the Jazz Band Ball also includes Hentoff’s keen, cosmopolitan observations on a wide range of issues. The book shows how jazz and education are a vital partnership, how free expression is the essence of liberty, and how social justice issues like health care and strong civil rights and liberties keep all the arts—and all members of society—strong.

"Because [Barnett's] research is so scrupulous and diligent, his delight in fact over conjecture soenlivening, I would like to see this book in universities--not just on the library shelves--because it is an essential text for anyone interested in the culture of the last century and its implications"--Michael Steinman, Cadence Magazine.

Poetry. Photography. Music. With photographs by Jacques Bisceglia. Steve Dalachinsky, poet and New Yorker, if there ever was one, and Jacques Bisceglia, photographer and Parisian, if there ever was one, have forever been capturing the moment. Neither the tools nor the styles are the same, only in common do they share the captured instant. From the confrontation of these snapshots came to life Reaching Into the Unknown. Through looking at the poems, through reading the pictures, you will hear the music, you will understand jazz better than by reading an informative book on the topic. Most of the musicians you will meet in there are those who have pushed, and still do so, musical expression to its utmost boundaries, on a quest for a more spontaneous, more direct, deeper-rooted music, with the capacity of sticking to the emotions, to feelings, and the most complex and contradictory human behavior. In the same respect, this book ventures into the unknown as it tells the story of life. 180 photos, 140 poems, 45 years of music.
Focusing on one of the legendary musicians in jazz, this book examines Miles Davis's often overlooked music of the mid-1960s with a close examination of the evolution of a new style: post bop. Jeremy Yudkin traces Davis's life and work during a period when the trumpeter was struggling with personal and musical challenges only to emerge once again as the artistic leader of his generation. A major force in post-war American jazz, Miles Davis was a pioneer of cool jazz, hard bop, and modal jazz in a variety of small group formats. The formation in the mid-1960s of the Second Quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams was vital to the invention of the new post bop style. Yudkin illustrates and precisely defines this style with an analysis of the 1966 classic Miles Smiles.
