old music books

Not so long ago, songs by the Andrews Sisters and Lawrence Welk blasted from phonographs, lilted over the radio, and dazzled television viewers across the country. Lending star quality to the ethnic music of Poles, Italians, Slovaks, Jews, and Scandinavians, luminaries like Frankie Yankovic, the Polka King, and Whoopee John Wilfart became household names to millions of Americans. In this vivid and engaging book, Victor Greene uncovers a wonderful corner of American social history as he traces the popularization of old-time ethnic music from the turn of the century to the 1960s. Drawing on newspaper clippings, private collections, ethnic societies, photographs, recordings, and interviews with musicians and promoters, Greene chronicles the emergence of a new mass culture that drew heavily...

During the 1920s, over a million and a half Greeks were forced to leave their lands and towns. Many became refugees, even in Greece, and some became known as rebetes. They were very much discriminated against. Rebetika traces their struggle through the evolution of their music—enriched by new challenges and a sense of tragedy for which the Greeks are famous. Rebetika has been compared to the American blues, the Portuguese fado, and the Spanish flamenco. Rebetika is a fascinating history of the anguish of an uprooted people from their ancestral homes. From Greek-inhabited Asia Minor, particularly along the Ionian Sea coast, thousands were expelled to live elsewhere in what they call the Catastrophe of 1922. This bitter experience of uprooting a people who lived there for thousands of years... Less

An alien, a polytheist from Phoenicia, the biblical Queen Jezebel posed a serious threat to the stability of the Israelites' single male deity. So powerful was this threat that writers through the ages have portrayed her as the incarnation of feminine evil, and her name has become synonymous with the misogynist view of women as seductresses. Janet Howe Gaines argues that the bride of the Israelite king Ahab became a convenient scapegoat for biblical writers who portrayed her as the primary force behind their nation's apostasy. The biblical account presents the queen as a murderer, as a disruptive force for evil. Despised, the strong-willed Jezebel is still one of the most intriguing women of the Bible.Music in the Old Bones is a guide to the eternal Jezebel story. The first part of this... Less

Whenever there is some type of event where the DJ is spinning old-school soul, funk, and disco -- an event that could be taking place anywhere from Cherry Hill, NJ to Newcastle, England -- one question that inevitably comes up a lot is Whatever happened to? You know, whatever happened to McFadden & Whitehead (sadly, both died in the 2000s), or whatever happened to Teena Marie? (Lady T came out with an album called Sapphire in 2006.) And if the DJ is playing crowd-pleasers like 1977's Shame or 1982's Love Come Down, someone inevitably wonders what Evelyn Champagne King has been up to. King flew under the radar in the '90s and early 2000s, but admirers of the Bronx native's '70s and '80s hits will be glad to know that she is in generally good form on her 2007 comeback album Open Book. King,... Less

Winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award, Bluegrass Breakdown is an expansive foray into the makings of bluegrass. More than any other book of its kind, it gets to the roots of a uniquely American music that is deeply linked to working-class ideals and romanticism. Robert Cantwell engages the historical background, commercial origins, internal workings, and cultural and social significance of popular, old-time music to provide a unique musicological and sociological perspective. Well versed in the history of the tradition and equally as interested in those who listen to the music as in those who create it, Cantwell links bluegrass to its hillbilly roots in Appalachia and shows how the music was transformed by African American folk traditions, the influence of jazz, ragtime, blues, and...
