Fats Waller (1904-1943) was an outsize man in all respects: five feet, eleven inches tall, he weighed 285 pounds. The greatest of the Harlem "stride" pianists, he composed hundreds of songs, he led a band that made over 400 recordings, and he wrote several Broadway shows. Waller's gargantuan appetites have been celebrated in anecdotes and earlier biographies. He is seen by jazz historians as a man of immense musical talent that was never fulfilled. In this fully revised and updated biography of Waller, Alyn Shipton re-examines his career, arguing that his talents as a songwriter, show composer, and brilliant recording and broadcasting artist have not been fully appreciated. In a newly written final chapter, there is a comprehensive survey of Waller's recordings as they have been reissued... Less

A miraculous find in the castle Vilain XIIII in Leut resulted in a wonderfully ambitious project: the recording of the Schubert's complete piano works on an original Nannette Streicher fortepiano from 1826. Given that there are only a dozen or so of these instruments known to exist worldwide - many are shut away in museums and so not playable - this is a truly unique project. The Vilain XIIII s six-octave straight-strung Streicher has an intimate sound with precise articulation and a transparent bass register that is perfectly suited to the music of the Viennese early Romantics - Beethoven and especially Schubert. With this release, Etcetera begins a new series of six 2CD sets in which Jan Vermeulen will reveal for us a new and groundbreaking Schubert sound. Fortepianist Jan... Less

These first two volumes of a projected five, in preparation for several years, begin a major publishing venture, collecting the complete essays of one of the giants of modern English prose and of social commentary in our time.

Volume II continues through the 1920s and includes his controversial essays on India and the empire in "Jesting Pilate." The essays of both volumes range from nuanced assessments of art and architecture to political analyses, history, science, religion, and art, and a newly discovered series on music. Wide-ranging, allusive, and witty, they are informed by the probing skepticism... Less

The Oxford Translation of Aristotle was originally published in 12 volumes between 1912 and 1954. It is universally recognized as the standard English version of Aristotle. This revised edition contains the substance of the original Translation, slightly emended in light of recent scholarship; three of the original versions have been replaced by new translations; and a new and enlarged selection of Fragments has been added. The aim of the translation remains the same: to make the surviving works of Aristotle readily accessible to English speaking readers.
