How have sound and empire shaped one another historically? Acoustics of Empire recovers a sonic history that is bound up with imperial power and colonial rule. Bringing together contributions from historians, musicologists, anthropologists, and literary scholars, this book emphasizes the entangled histories of sound and empire. The intertwined legacies of sound and power are not simply historical curiosities; rather, they stand as formative influences in cultural modernity and its discontents that continue to shape the ways we hear and experience the world today.

The rock and roll music that dominated airwaves across the country during the 1950s and early 1960s is often described as a triumph for integration. Black and white musicians alike, including Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis, scored hit records with young audiences from different racial groups, blending sonic traditions from R&B, country, and pop. This so-called desegregation of the charts seemed particularly resonant since major civil rights groups were waging major battles for desegregation in public places at the same time. And yet the centering of integration, as well as the supposition that democratic rights largely based in consumerism should be available to everyone regardless of race, has resulted in very distinct responses to both music and movement among Black and white listeners who grew up during this period. Rock and Roll, Desegregation Movements, and Racism in the Post-Civil Rights Era: An Integrated Effort traces these distinctions using archival research, musical performances, and original oral histories to determine the uncertain legacies of the civil rights movement and early rock and roll music in a supposedly post-civil rights era.

Since the dawn of time, humans have had the urge to come together and move to music. It may have started in caves but these days it happens in clubs often found in the shady corners of our towns and cities. Or at least it did until these places began to march to the beat of property developers rather than DJs. In London in the five years to 2016, half of the clubs were lost while a further quarter have been removed in the devastation of Covid. So what now? At this critical moment, Out of Space plots a course through the spaces and unlikely locations club culture has found a home. From Glasgow to Margate via Manchester, Sheffield and unlikely dance music meccas such as Coalville and Todmorden, it maps the key cities and towns where electronic music has thrived, it currently dances and the spaces it might be headed to next. It explores how urban landscapes have acted as a home for other shades of club music too such as pirate radio, dance music festivals, soundsystem culture and more.

This memoir channels Rouse‿s high energy personality into an exuberant account of the precarity and pleasures of artistic creation. Raconteur and starving artist, witty observer and acclaimed musician, Rouse emerged from the legendary art world of 1980s New York to build a forty-year career defined by stage and musical successes, inexhaustible creativity, and a support network of famous faces, loyal allies, and high art hustlers. Rouse guides readers through a working artists‿ hardscrabble life while illuminating the unromantic truth that a project‿s reception may depend on a talented cast and crew but can depend on reliable air conditioning. Candid and hilarious, The World Got Away is a one-of-a-kind account of a creative life fueled by talent, work, and luck.

Jews have been a major presence in America's jazz, as musicians and as jazz facilitators, and in Kosher Jammers: Jewish Connections in Jazz - The USA, Gerber tells that story with a rigour worthy of academia but with a feature writer's creative flair. Besides drawing on a plethora of second-hand sources, Kosher Jammers is absolutely packed with first-hand material, from interviews, phone calls and emails with jazz figures, Jewish and otherwise - including possibly the last ever interview with swing era icon Artie Shaw. Among the many other interviewees are black jazz figures such as saxophonist Buddy Collette and the critic Stanley Crouch, as a key theme running through the book is the relationship between Jews and African Americans in jazz. The impact on jazz of tunes written by Jewish "Great American Songbook" composers such as George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Johnny Green is also covered, And the book features an extensive study of the Jewish-jazz phenomenon, whereby musicians from Ziggy Ellman in the 1930s to contemporary artists, notably John Zorn, have sought to create jazz that draws on Jewish music influences and themes. Gerber drives home the point that, even had there never been a single Jewish jazz musician, Jews will still have contributed massively to the development of jazz in the United States, as managers, impresarios, venue owners, label founders, writers and such. 382 pages

Some, the author admires deeply; a few, not so much. These are not just verbal descriptions. Epstein provides URLs of videos and audio recordings that enable you to click along to see and hear what he saw and heard. Going back in real time to as far as his elementary school days and the pop music of that era, he even tells you about that period in time-about Captain Video and Captain Kangaroo on TV and about Tarzan serials at Saturday morning movie-theater kiddie shows"--

Analyses how Black music and culture framed how we passed the time in the first 18 months of the pandemic.During the COVID-19 pandemic, music listening increased as people used it to help to counter the psychological fallout of lockdown and reduce its effects of isolation, restriction and boredom.

"I was lucky enough to grow up during the golden age of Top 40 AM radio and enjoying the best DJs in the business. We all listened to Bill Randle, Carl Reese, Phil McLean, Johnny Holiday, and of course Alan Freed and Mad Daddy. We exhibited our 'smarts' by pretending to know which hits would be # 1, next week. What my friends didn't know was my inside track with DJ's like Alan Freed coming to my house to go over play lists with my dad Leo who, of course, told Alan what would be 'selling' the next week. Although a distant memory, I believe Rock 'n' Roll owes its existence to all these great jocks giving the music we loved a vehicle to expand, last, and become part of our entire generation. Radio today isn't a shadow of the media of the 50's and 60's when the personalities like Pete 'Mad Daddy' truly were bigger than life and made radio fun to listen to. Now, when I was certain I remembered that good old age, these pages thoughtfully written by Janice and Mike Olszewski do indeed inform me of how much I didn't know."- Stuart Mintz, son of Leo Mintz, who saw it all firsthand "Rick (Lux) would be upstairs in his bedroom at our house spinning his countless collection of early rock n roll records, reading Mad magazine, and listening to the Mad Daddy radio show fueling his fire for his love of rock n roll. I was his young toddler brother first witnessing all this and seeing for the first time who was to become the great rock n roll madman Lux Interior of the Cramps. It was a powerful sight that created my own fire for music. Lux would be the first in line to buy this book."- Michael Purkhiser, musician, writer and electronics designer "The story of Pete Myers and his on-air persona, the Mad Daddy, is finally set straight in Janice and Mike Olszewski's ultimate bio of this legendary Cleveland radio god. This long-anticipated tome is a bubbling brew of history and hysterics, filled with facts and foibles of the fast-talking disc jockey who unknowingly influenced generations of bop-infested no-counts, and reset the horizontal for all inspired radio to come. Essential reading and absolutely recommended!"- Miriam Linna, Cramps / Norton Records / Kicksville Radio "I've been to Alan Phreed's grave in Cleveland, and Mad Daddy left us long ago. This book lets their memory live on!"- Phlash Phelps, Sirius XM "Sixties Gold"

Learn how to read treble clef on the cello! This book teaches you how to read and play notes in treble clef on the cello, one note at a time. The exercises help you see how bass clef and tenor clef connect to treble clef. Carefully crafted studies help you recognize and remember each note as you learn it. Short pieces are included to use the notes that were just learned so that you can practice playing in treble clef. If you are an intermediate or advanced cellist and you know bass and tenor clef (if not, see Tenor Clef for the Cello by Cassia Harvey), this book will help teach you the final clef! Advanced cello solo, chamber, and orchestral music regularly uses bass, tenor, and treble clef. One skill that is not typically taught in cello playing is reading treble clef an octave lower. Some cello music has parts written in this "false" treble clef that you are expected to be able to read and play. This book can help! At the end of the book, after the regular study of the clef, there is a section on reading treble clef one octave lower, followed by study pages that teach the treble clef sections of the cello part to an excerpt from Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 18, No. 4 and all of the treble clef sections in the cello part to Dvorak's American String Quartet Op. 96, No. 12!This book could be studied after Tenor Clef for the Cello (CHP109) and along with Learning Three-Octave Scales on the Cello (CHP356) and Thumb Position School for the Cello (CHP361.)
