Aesthetic Theoryby Theodor W. AdornoISBN 0816618003 (0-8166-1800-3)
Softcover, Univ of Minnesota Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Aesthetic Theory'Book summary:Theodor Adorno (1903-69) was undoubtedly the foremost thinker of the Frankfurt School, the influential group of German thinkers that fled to the US in the 1930s, including such thinkers as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. His work has proved enormously influential in sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. Aesthetic Theory is Adorno's posthumous magnum opus and the culmination of a lifetime's investigation. Analysing the sublime, the ugly and the beautiful, Adorno shows how such concepts frame and distil human experience and that it is human experience that ultimately underlies aesthetics. In Adorno's formulation art is the sedimented history of human misery'. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedeman Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor.[via]

Anarchyby John CageISBN 0819564664 (0-8195-6466-4)
Hardcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anarchy'Book summary:"That government is best which governs not at all; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have." This quote from Henry David Thoreau's Essay on Civil Disobedience is one of thirty quotations from which John Cage created Anarchy, a book-length lecture comprising twenty mesostic poems. Composed with the aid of a computer program to simulate the coin toss of the I Ching, Anarchy draws on the writings of many serious anarchists including Emma Goldman, Peter Kropotkin, and Mario Malatesta, not so much making arguments for anarchism as "brushing information against information," giving the very words new combinations that de-familiarize and re-energize them. Now widely available of the first time, Anarchy marks the culmination of Cage's work as a poet, composer and as a thinker about contemporary society. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Early Dylan'Book summary:Bob Dylan is more than a great musician and songwriter -- he is a part of our cultural fabric, the poet laureate of a generation. It is with great pleasure that we present rare visual footage of one of the most compelling artists of this century.
Early Dylan features the work of Barry Feinstein, Daniel Kramer, and Jim Marshall, three master photographers who were there from the beginning and were given unique access to Bob Dylan and his private life. Many of the eighty photographs featured have never before been published and portray a young Dylan at the start of his career in the 1960s. In the extended caption section following the portfolio, each photographer reveals details of his experiences with the young artist on the brink of huge celebrity. Since the early sixties, Bob Dylan has been in the national spotlight, and this book will satisfy both his older generation of fans and his many new devotees. [via]

Empire of Dirt: The Aesthetics And Rituals of British Indie Musicby Wendy FonarowISBN 0819568112 (0-8195-6811-2)
Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Empire of Dirt: The Aesthetics And Rituals of British Indie Music'Book summary:Britain is widely considered the cradle of independent music culture. Bands like Radiohead and Belle and Sebastian, which epitomize indie music's sounds and attitudes, have spawned worldwide fanbases. This in-depth study of the British independent music scene explores how the behavior of fans, artists, and music industry professionals produce a community with a specific aesthetic based on moral values. Author Wendy Fonarow, a scholar with years of experience in the various sectors of the indie music scene, examines the indie music "gig" as a ritual in which all participants are actively involved. This ritual allows participants to play with cultural norms regarding appropriate behavior, especially in the domains of sex and creativity. Her investigation uncovers the motivations of audience members when they first enter the community and how their positions change over time so that the gig functions for most members as a rite of passage. Empire of Dirt sheds new light on music, gender roles, emotion, subjectivity, embodiment, and authenticity. [via]

The Flowers of Evilby Charles Baudelaire, Keith WaldropISBN 081956799X (0-8195-6799-X)
Hardcover, Wesleyan University Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Flowers of Evil'Book summary:The poetic masterpiece of the great nineteenth-century writer Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil is one of the most frequently read and studied works in the French language. In this compelling new translation of Baudelaire's most famous collection, Keith Waldrop recasts the poet's original French alexandrines and other poetic arrangements into versets, a form that hovers between poetry and prose. Maintaining Baudelaire's complex view of sound and structure, Waldrop's translation mirrors the intricacy of the original without attempting to replicate its inimitable verse. The result is a powerful new re-imagining, one that is, almost paradoxically, closer to Baudelaire's own poetry than any previous English translation. Including the six poems banned from the first edition, this Flowers of Evil preserves the complexity, eloquence, and dark humor of its author. Brought here to new life, it is hypnotic, frank, and forceful. [via]

Half Past Autumn: A Retrospectiveby Gordon Parks, Philip Brookman, Corcoran Gallery of ArtISBN 0821225030 (0-8212-2503-0)
Softcover, Bulfinch Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Half Past Autumn: A Retrospective'Book summary:Gordon Parks is one of the 20th century's greatest multitalented cultural treasures: a writer, poet, musician, composer, filmmaker, and photographer. In this book--the companion volume to a traveling retrospective--the full flower of Parks's genius is both awe-inspiring in its depth and thorough in its demolition of the era's social-science fictions about African American potential.
Born in Kansas, Parks wandered as a homeless teen, and through wit, smarts, and improvisation--and no experience--landed a job as a photographer for the Farm Security Administration, then with his new skill took pictures for Life magazine. "Tyrants, dictators, dethroned kings," he writes, "all stared into my camera with eyes that were unveiled. The camera revealed them as they were--human beings imprisoned inside themselves." Highlights among his photographic work include the haunting shot of domestic Ella Watson, the starkness of a 1940s teenaged gang leader named Red Jackson lying eternally young in his coffin, and the elegant, life-and-death ballet of the Spanish bullfight. Parks's depiction of Duke Ellington's towering music in motion reflects the importance of jazz and blues in Parks's artistry. From the films Shaft and The Learning Tree (the latter adapted from his own novel) to his impressionistic ballet honoring Martin Luther King Jr., his work swings with an American rhythm that continues to inspire him. "A musical theme vibrates in my sleep," he writes. "I get up, go to the piano, and jot it down. A blustery sky, a crescent moon, or the blazing sun can hurry me to poetry, or to the camera. When the doors of promise open, the trick is to quickly walk through them." --Eugene Holley Jr. [via]

Hardcover, Univ of Alabama Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A History of Music & Dance in Florida, 1565-1865'Book summary:This elegant volume is the first to chronicle Florida's aboriginal[via]
and European music and dance from the South's earliest permanent settlement
to the end of the Civil War.
Floridians and non-Floridians have often dismissed the state's musical
heritage as beginning and ending with Stephen Foster's "Swanee River
(Old Folks at Home)." For this volume, music scholar Wiley L. Housewright
draws on documents of cultural history largely overlooked by previous researchers
to reveal the vast heritage and diversity of 300 years of Florida music
and dance.Housewright examines works written and performed by Native Americans,
European adventurers, backwoods pioneers, slaves, politicians, sailors,
soldiers, stevedores, and professional ensembles. His narrative evokes
the cultural and political background of music in Florida and the often
colorful characters who sang and danced across the stage of the state's
history.This volume encourages a reconsideration of the geographic orientation
of American music history, as well as a vivid rediscovery of the richly
diverse cultural traditions of early Florida.
Wiley L. Housewright is Professor Emeritus of Music at Florida
State University.More editions of A History of Music & Dance in Florida, 1565-1865:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Not Fade Away: The Rock & Roll Photography of Jim Marshall'Book summary:Jim Marshall is the ultimate rock-and-roll photographer -- a man who began shooting during San Francisco's acid rock heyday and never stopped. His outsized personality and penchant for fast living has given him a special rapport with musicians over the years -- and enabled him to get the candid, revealing shots no one else even attempted.
Not Fade Away collects the best of Marshall's photography for the first time -- and gives us a visual history of the rock-and-roll era that is unprecedented in its intimacy, immediacy, and impact. The 124 duotone images include virtually every artist in the rock pantheon, including the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Cream, Bob Dylan, the Who, Muddy Waters, Jim Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers Band, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Complete with extended captions that detail the stories behind the photographs, Not Fade Away is the ultimate rock-and-roll gift book. [via]

Recollecting from the Past: Musical Practice and Spirit Possession on the East Coast of Madagascarby Ron EmoffISBN 0819565008 (0-8195-6500-8)
Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Recollecting from the Past: Musical Practice and Spirit Possession on the East Coast of Madagascar'Book summary:The first serious ethnomusicological study of Malagasy music, Recollecting from the Past evokes the complex sound and performative aesthetic in Madagascar called maresaka. Maresaka pertains not only to musical expression but extends into ways of remembering the past, aesthetics of everyday life, and Malagasy concepts of self and community.
Ron Emoff focuses on tromba spirit possession ceremonies in which Malagasy use devotional practice as an occasion to expressively re-figure worlds often impeded by colonialism and postcolonial phenomena, extreme material poverty, and widespread illness. Malagasy not only preserve the past, but they interpret, revalue and transform it to their own ends. Music is crucial to these performances since powerful ancestral spirits will not enter into the present if not enticed by masterful musical performances, and so music itself provides a complex symbolic system with which Malagasy can recall and reconstruct the past. This groundbreaking study will be of interest to readers in the fields of anthropology, ethnomusicology, cultural studies, African studies, postcolonial and performance studies.

Sudden Music: Improvisation, Sound, Natureby David RothenbergISBN 0820323187 (0-8203-2318-7)
Hardcover, Univ of Georgia Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sudden Music: Improvisation, Sound, Nature'Book summary:Music, said Zen patriarch Hui Neng, "is a means of rapid transformation." It takes us home to a natural world that functions outside of logic, where harmony and dissonance, tension and release work in surprising ways. Weaving memoir, travelogue, and philosophical reflection, Sudden Music presents a musical way of knowing that can closely engage us with the world and open us to its spontaneity.[via]Improvisation is everywhere, says David Rothenberg, and his book is a testament to its creative, surprising power. Linking in original ways the improvised in nature, composition, and instrumentation, Rothenberg touches on a wide range of music traditions, from Rob Nachman's stories to John Cage's aleatory. Writing not as a critic but as a practicing musician, Rothenberg draws on his own extensive travels to Scandinavia, India, and Nepal to describe from close observation the improvisational traditions that inform and inspire his own art.
The accompanying audio disc features eleven original compositions by Rothenberg, none of which have been previously released on CD. Included are a duet with clarinet and white-crested laughing bird, and another duet with clarinet and Samchillian TipTipTip Cheeepeeeee, an electronic computer instrument played by its inventor Leon Gruebaum. Also featured are multicultural works blending South Indian veena and Turkish g-clarinet with spoken text from the Upanishads; a piece commissioned by the Tanglewood Contemporary Music Festival with readings of texts by E. O. Wilson accompanied by clarinet and electronics; and improvisations based upon Tibetan Buddhist music, Japanese shakuhachi music, and the image of a black crow on white snow.
Sudden Music is a concise and delicate work of beauty. It will help all readers experience the world as a musical place, full of wonderful events that come out of nowhere to create a strange and rhythmic harmony.

Apart from a unique insight into the dynamics of a hugely popular band and an extraordinary marriage, WINGSPAN brings back memories of some of the wonderful songs and how they were written, recorded and performed.
