The Tin Pan Alley Song Encyclopedia $42.9 Many books have been written about Tin Pan Alleythe colloquial name assigned to popular music before the advent of rock n rollyet little is available about the individual songs defining this enormously significant style of American music. This encyclopedia of over 1,200 songs written from the middle of the 19th century through the 1950s provides information and commentary on the music embraced by the American public. No other single volume contains as much information on the subject. Author Thomas Hischak provides an exhaustive yet highly readable guide to the songs, their periods, their styles, and their performers. His study explains in laymans language how this music survived over time, and how it came to play such an influential role in American popular culture. Ideal for researchers and browsers alike, this encyclopedia is a long overdue examination of an American musical institution. These songs were not written for stage or screen, but for saloons, singalongs, dance orchestras, sheet music, piano player rolls, recordings, nightclubs, concerts, and radio broadcasts. They colored the fabric of American popular culture for centuries, from early American folk songs to Civil War melodies, 19thcentury sentimental ballads, minstrel songs, ragtime, and jazz. Author: Hischak, Thomas S. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 530 Publication Date: 2002/09/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.90 x 6.00 x 1.30 inches |

Jazz in Its Time by Williams, Martin [Paperback] $55.89 From record album liner notes to serious academic pieces, Martin Williams has been perceptively chronicling the development of jazz for over three decades. In this, his newest collection of jazz writings, Williams brings together many of his best pieces and covers new ground, with short columns on Teddy Wilson and George Winston and a longer article, How Long Has This Been Going On?, examining the current state of jazz. In this last work, Williams notes that jazz is experiencing a period of stylistic retrenchment or, if you will, a period of conservatism, and questions the fusion of jazz with rock. Williams cites the opinion of Wynton Marsalis and a number of other musicians, who seem to see the whole fusion thing as a kind of commercial opportunism and artistic blind alley, maybe even a betrayal of the music. Arranged roughly according to the form of the writing (music reviews, profiles, etc.) the pieces included here examine the musicianship of jazz greats from Sidney Bechet to Ornette Coleman, including Lionel Hampton, Lee Konitz, Art Farmer, and others. There are also thought pieces on the development and direction of jazz and jazz scholarship. Together, these works provide an insightful overview of the development of jazz over the past twenty years. Author: Williams, Martin Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 Publication Date: 1991/05/30 Language: English Dimensions: 8.22 x 5.52 x 0.80 inches |
