Описание: In an essay on the future of jazz penned in 1955, Duke Ellington suggested that the new music called rock ‘n’ roll “is the most raucous form of jazz, beyond a doubt.” So why did jazz and rock become separate genres when they shared so many similar musical and cultural characteristics? The rift between jazz and rock - and jazz and rock scholarship - is based on a set of received assumptions as to why jazz and rock are different. In When Genres Collide, Matt Brennan argues that there are other ways popular music history could have been written (and has been written) that call the oppositional representation of jazz and rock into question. The book challenges the traditional divide between jazz and rock by going back to how they were first covered in the two oldest surviving and most influential jazz and rock periodicals: Down Beat and Rolling Stone. It examines afresh the critical moments in history when the trajectories and meanings of jazz and rock intersected, overlapped, or collided in dramatic ways. Ultimately, the book shows how music critics gradually constructed a divide between the two genres that would be replicated for decades to come in both music journalism and music scholarship. This book will be valuable to the fields of both popular music studies and jazz studies, and in fact aims to bridge a gap between these two musical worlds.

Описание: No matter how difficult the situations you have faced or are facing, you can still overcome them.
The things we go through are only shaping us to be able to receive the greater things that God has in store for us later in life. These situations are just pushing us into the purpose and destiny that God has for us.
Life can sometimes be a struggle, and we may feel hopeless. Often, we go through things that we have no control over; things that were never our fault, and that we shouldn't have to go through. It's not fair. It's not pleasant. But this is the life that we live.
This book tells the true story of two lives that spiraled through some of the most difficult things you can imagine during their childhood and teenage years. There was a lot of pain, a lot of hurt, a lot of disappointment, and most of all, a lot of hopelessness. Still-somehow-there was a glimmer of light.
This is the story of the lives of Rev. Kenneth Pritchard Jr. and Rev. Sheika Pritchard and how, what seemed like the end of the world, turned out to be the handiwork of God's grace. Our story shows how God was able to work in our lives, and includes some advice about the kinds of support we needed when we first found our faith. Our story and the tools we describe could also help you, and those you know....
