In this visionary book, Murray takes an audacious new look at black music and, in the process, succeeds in changing the way one reads literature. Murray's subject is the previously unacknowledged kinship between fiction and the blues. Both, he argues, are virtuoso performances that impart information, wisdom, and moral guidance to their audiences; both place a high value on improvisation; and both fiction and the blues create a delicate balance between the holy and the obscene, essential human values and cosmic absurdity. Encompassing artists from Ernest Hemingway to Duke Ellington, and from Thomas Mann to Richard Wright, The Hero and the Blues pays homage to a new black aesthetic.

Against the odds, 90125, released towards the end of 1983, was Yes' best-selling album. Yet it was never intended to be a recording by one of the 1970s rock dinosaurs, but a combination of commercial expediency and luck saw an album by a new band called Cinema - featuring Yes stalwarts Chris Squire, Alan White and Tony Kaye alongside talented multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rabin - become Yes following the last-minute recruitment of vocalist Jon Anderson. A US number one hit single, 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart, ' led to a triple platinum record and a massive world tour, giving this band a new lease of life in the 1980s. Featuring new interviews with several of the main protagonists, including Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin, this book traces the story of the album from its rudimentary demos in 1981, right up to the end of the world tour in early 1985. 90125 is reviewed in full, and the book also includes a detailed look at the somewhat complex and contrived process that created it, followed by an examination of the album's legacy and remarkable afterlife. The 90125 story is possibly the most astonishing in this legendary group's nearly six-decade history. This is how it happened.

The J. Geils Band were the original Bad Boys from Boston, getting down to it and blowing your face out every night. With classic albums like Full House, Bloodshot, Love Stinks, and the massively successful Freeze-Frame, Geils have been nominated for the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame no fewer than five times since 2005. From their early days as R&B and blues purists, through defining tracks like 'Looking for a Love, ' the instrumental 'Whammer Jammer, ' and the US Top 40 'Give It to Me, ' to global fame with radio staples' Love Stinks, ' 'Centerfold, ' and 'Freeze-Frame, ' The J. Geils Band created a unique sound and turned every show into a house party. Though it took time for record sales to catch up to their live reputation, by the early 1980s there were few hotter act than J. Geils. The definitive companion to the music of this hard drivin' band, The J. Geils Band - on track is a comprehensive overview of every track on Geils' 11 studio albums, with a look at their official live releases and a rundown of the musicians' projects beyond the band. on track makes clear why Geils, often referred to as America's answer to The Rolling Stones, were the funkiest band in the land.

Wendy Carlos is one of the most influential electronic musicians of the 20th century, whose ground breaking LP, Switched-On Bach, was pivotal in elevating the Moog synthesizer to iconic status. At the same time, her highly evocative score for Stanley Kubrick's film, A Clockwork Orange, redefined the sound of electronic music for a generation of popular musicians in the US and Europe. Known in particular for her adventurous sonic re-imaginings of the music of classical composers from Bach to Beethoven, it is often forgotten that Carlos was also an accomplished composer in her own right, whose original work on albums such as Sonic Seasonings, Digital Moonscapes and Beauty In The Beast deserves equal recognition for its progressive compositional innovations and sound design techniques. With the aim of addressing this imbalance, this book offers a detailed track-by-track survey of all Carlos's unique album releases from Switched-On Bach to Tales of Heaven And Hell, placing each recording in context in relation to musical influences, technology and thematic concepts, as well as providing many analytical pointers to assist the listener in navigating her classically influenced musical aesthetic. To provide a fully rounded picture the last section of the book considers a number of Carlos's miscellaneous one-off projects and evaluates the remastered editions of her earlier LPs released on the East Side Digital label during the early 2000s.

Ultravox made an indelible mark on the popular music of the 1980s despite never reaching number one at any point: famously, 'Vienna' stalled at number two, while their only other top five single was the zeitgeist-capturing 'Dancing With Tears in My Eyes', reaching number three in May 1984. Between 1981's 'Vienna' and 1984's 'Love's Great Adventure', Ultravox scored 12 Top 30 hit singles (17 reached the Top 40), and seven top ten album releases. Fronted first by John Foxx, then Midge Ure, Ultravox went from being an acclaimed but hitless art rock outfit to a Blitz-era chart-storming quartet. They also proved to be a formidable live band, mixing in-vogue electronic synthesisers with drums and guitar and Billy Currie's trademark classical violin. The band became one of the most successful acts of the era, capped by their 1985 appearance at the Live Aid concert. They also made their mark with arty, distinctive, and influential music videos. Having split following 1986's controversial U-Vox album, the 1980s Ultravox line-up regrouped in 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of 'Vienna' with a series of UK, US, and European tours. That led to a new, belated album, 2012's Brilliant. Every album, every song - this is Ultravox.

ANMELDELSER HAR VÆRET en del af den offentlige samtale om kunsten, siden oplysningstiden fejede hen over Europa og omdannede enevælde til demokrati.I dag er dagblade og ugeaviser, som siden 1700-tallet har tilbudt anmeldelser som udgangspunkt for en offentlig diskussion af kunsten, under hastig forandring. Trykte aviser forvandles til netmedier, og mængden af anmeldelser er dalende. Det gælder også på kompositionsmusikkensområde – er det godt eller skidt?De 16 tekster, der udgør denne antologi, belyser og diskuterer musikkritikkens opkomst, udvikling og formål med fokus på klassisk og ny kompositionsmusik i Danmark.Foruden debatskabende tekster af musikpersonligheder som Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider og Karl Aage Rasmussen og portrætter af berygtede musikkritikere som Hansgeorg Lenz rummer antologien skønlitterære bidrag af bl.a. UrsulaAndkjær Olsen. Med tekster af anmeldere og forskere giver den eksempler på, hvordan musikkritik har været udøvet, bør udøves – og kunne udøves i fremtiden.

RAY RAGHUNATH CAPPO - LEGENDARISK HARDCORE-PUNKMUSIKER, MUNK OG PIONER INDEN FOR STRAIGHT EDGE-BEVÆGELSEN – FORTÆLLER HER SINE ERINDRINGER MED DYBFØLT VARME, ÅBENHED OG HUMOR. Ray Cappo var en hardcore/punksanger og straight edge pioner, der boede på Lower East Side i New York City i 1980’erne, hvor hans band Youth of Today spillede for fyldte huse og tusindvis af fans. Men til trods for at Ray udgav adskillige plader og turnerede over hele USA, var han ikke tilfreds. Berømmelsen og succesen havde ikke bragt den lykke med sig, han havde håbet på. Det havde kun efterladt ham med følelse af tomhed. Dette, sammen med sin fars alt for tidlige død, fik Ray til brat at forlade bandet og købe en enkeltbillet til Indien i jagten på svarene på livets store spørgsmål. Her levede han blandt munke i den hellige landsby Vrindavan og omfavnede den rige, åndelige kultur, han opdagede der. Da han vendte tilbage til USA, gennemgribende forandret, dannede han bandet Shelter – dedikeret til at sprede et budskab om håb. Fortalt med varme, ærlighed og humor beskriver denne dybfølte erindringsbog Rays rejse fra punk til munk. HISTORISK: Bogen giver et unikt indblik i punk- og hardcorescenen omkring Lower East Side i 1980’erne og straight edge-bevægelsens tidlige år. ÅNDELIGT: Bogen stiller (og besvarer) dybe spørgsmål om vores forhold til verden omkring os og de levende væsener, der befolker den. PERSONLIGT: Beskriver Rays åndelige rejse med egne ord – fortalt med varme, ærlighed og humor. Kort om forfatteren: Som teenager grundlagde Ray Raghunath Cappo hardcore/punk-bandet Youth of Today, som var fortalere for principperne om ren livsstil, vegetarisme og selvkontrol. Efter at have oplevet en åndelig opvågnen i Indien, dannede han et nyt band, Shelter, dedikeret til at sprede et budskab om håb gennem åndelig forbindelse. Ray leder i dag yoga-retreats, yogalæreruddannelser og kirtans på sit Supersoul Farm Retreat Center i Upstate New York, såvel som årlige pilgrimsrejser til Indien. Han er medstifter af og vært på Wisdom of the Sages, en daglig yoga-podcast, der har ligget #1 på Apple over listen af podcasts om spiritualitet.

The "History of Uzbek National Music Art and Culture" book explains the evolution of music culture from ancient times, the major stages of compositional creativity formed in Western European music art, the lives and creative paths of classical composers, opera and symphonic genre classification signs, Uzbek musical heritage, professional musical creativity, and particular traditions of compositional creativity.

Gracchus is a grand opera that tells of an unforgettable human drama set to soaring music. The whole unfolds according to the principles of the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk), incorporating perennial human themes while embracing music, poetry, dance, scenography, and philosophical reflection in a spectacle of emotional power whose purpose is to entertain and to edify. Besides the dialogue and lyrics, the libretto contains summary descriptions of the music for each scene giving the reader a substantive taste of the score. Though the plot has a historical basis being set in the late Roman Republic and centered on the life of Gaius Gracchus, a tribune of the people, the story uses that period to create a socio-political allegory of contemporary times. The text and score of Gracchus do not, finally, just combine but merge to produce a single aesthetic phenomenon inspired by the roots of opera, epic literature, and the dramatic tradition of classical tragedy.

Mr. Howard Dixon, equally gifted as a brass instructor, jazz band conductor, and a guardian of music history, was another stalwart presence.

Wie klingt der Jazz der Zukunft? Wen erreichen wir mit dieser Musik und wen wollen wir erreichen? Wie wichtig sind Räume, im wörtlichen genauso wie im metaphorischen Sinne, um musikalische Kreativität zu ermöglichen, und wie sichern wir diese? Wie sahen Musiker:innen der Vergangenheit die Zukunft ihrer Kunst und was lässt sich daraus für die Gegenwart ableiten? Macht es überhaupt noch Sinn von der Zukunft einer Musik zu sprechen, die als Genre Vergangenheit zu sein scheint? Und überhaupt: Was ist eigentlich "Jazz" in einer Welt des Post-Genre? Dieses Buch enthält einige Antworten, vor allem aber weitere Fragen, die zeigen, dass Jazz, improvisierte Musik, Black American Music oder wie immer man sie bezeichnen will, gerade deshalb eine Zukunft hat, weil sie Diskurse der Gegenwart aufgreift, dreht, wendet und dabei neue Perspektiven aufzeigt.
