Описание: The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives: This Is Our Music documents the emergence of collective movements in jazz and improvised music. Jazz history is most often portrayed as a site for individual expression and revolves around the celebration of iconic figures, while the networks and collaborations that enable the music to maintain and sustain its cultural status are surprisingly under-investigated. This collection explores the history of musician-led collectives and the ways in which they offer a powerful counter-model for rethinking jazz practices in the post-war period. It includes studies of groups including the New York Musicians Organization, Sweden's Ett minne f r livet, Wonderbrass from South Wales, the contemporary Dutch jazz-hip hop scene, and Austria's JazzWerkstatt. With an international list of contributors and examples from Europe and the United States, these twelve essays and case studies examine issues of shared aesthetic vision, socioeconomic and political factors, local education, and cultural values among improvising musicians.

Описание: Listen to This stands out as the first book exclusively dedicated to Davis's watershed 1969 album, Bitches Brew. Victor Svorinich traces its incarnations and inspirations for ten-plus years before its release. The album arrived as the jazz scene waned beneath the rise of rock and roll and as Davis (1926-1991) faced large changes in social conditions affecting the African-American consciousness. This new climate served as a catalyst for an experiment that many considered a major departure. Davis's new music projected rock and roll sensibilities, the experimental essence of 1960s' counterculture, yet also harsh dissonances of African-American reality. Many listeners embraced it, while others misunderstood and rejected the concoction.Listen to This is not just the story of Bitches Brew. It reveals much of the legend of Miles Davis--his attitude and will, his grace under pressure, his bands, his relationship to the masses, his business and personal etiquette, and his response to extraordinary social conditions seemingly aligned to bring him down. Svorinich revisits the mystery and skepticism surrounding the album, and places it into both a historical and musical context using new interviews, original analysis, recently found recordings, unearthed session data sheets, memoranda, letters, musical transcriptions, scores, and a wealth of other material. Additionally, Listen to This encompasses a thorough examination of producer Teo Macero's archives and Bitches Brew's original session reels in order to provide the only complete day-to-day account of the sessions.

Описание: Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing (1989) is one of the most popular and celebrated examples of the African-American new black film wave. Set during the hottest day of a hot summer in New York City, the film's ensemble cast, including Lee himself, brilliantly play out the edgy negotiations and dramas of a racially and culturally diverse working-class Brooklyn neighborhood. Contrary to Hollywood's markedly cautious treatment of 'race' and its confinement to the South and the past, Do The Right Thing offers a nuanced portrayal of black urban life.From hip-hop fashions, Afrocentric colors and rap music, to police brutality, gentrification, non-white immigration, de-industrialization and joblessness, Do The Right Thing depicts it all, from a contemporary, African-American point of view. In his insightful study of the film, Ed Guerrero discusses how it epitomizes Spike Lee's powerful impact on the representation of race and difference in America, the progress of black film-making and the rise of multicultural voices in the media. This new edition includes a foreword by the author reflecting on Lee's subsequent film-making career and on an America in which African-Americans still contend with racial discrimination and police brutality. Guerrero emphasizes Lee's especially timely understanding of black film-making as a complex act, mixing the skills of art, politics, and business in order to fashion a creative practice that confronts institutional discrimination and power relations head on.

Описание: Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" is the book that will change America forever A race of people were stolen from a land, and their history was stolen from them. Hidden behind centuries of deception and misdeeds, God's people struggle with the residue of physical oppression and mental oppression, and yet their spiritual strength is their liberation to rediscovering their true selves.

What is their language, religion, history, and culture? What are their contributions to world civilization? What's the cause and effect of slavery on the Negro? What was the true curse of Ham? Is "Black" a race? Is "White" a color? What does the "N" word really mean? What is the relevance of Byword and how does it relate to the racial tension in America? What is the solution? Who Is Black In America? (CNN NEWS). Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" addresses these pertinent questions from a historical, social, cultural, psychological, and Biblical perspective. Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name is written in three amazing aspects: (1) Contextually, Chapters 1-7 address central facets of the holocaust of slavery in the Americas. (2) Historically, references of the social and psychological colonization of God's people is carefully conducted through the "de-naming", naming, and "re-naming" of their national identity. The children born into 500 years of New World captivity have been referred to by over 70 Byword references. These references have been used to call a nation erroneously out of their name. (3) Aesthetically, the remarkable artistic expression of Elder Makabi and Mark-Alan, poetically echoes the struggles, oppression, wisdom, contributions, strengths, strategies, and power in which a nation called out of their name has and continues to thrive among countries hostile to this nation of people's very existence. Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" is a national identity reference guide for the so-called Negroes. Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" clarifies the blur lines between color and race. Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" brilliantly responds to CNN News "Who Is Black in America?" Moreover, Byword is a Bible companion for all believers and will be considered one of the greatest educational contributions towards empowering the children of captivity (i.e. so-called Negroes) with the courage to make anti-Semitic rooted in racism non-effective and to bury the epithet "nigger" Forever Byword "A Nation Called out of Their Name" is a tree-of-life, an anthropological epic, a timeless classic that will be a best-seller of all time.
