Black Music in the Harlem Renaissance
In the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s jazz music was performed everywhere, black musicals were presented on Broadway, black composers wrote prize-winning works, and the Harlem Symphony Orchestra played to Harlem concert audiences. Often viewed as a period of literary explosion for African-Americans, the Harlem Renaissance saw the emergence of many musical greats--Dinah Washington, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and Louis Armstrong. These essays examine the music of this period, as a central aspect of African American life, and the intellectual scrutiny of one of African American music's most famous forms--jazz. The book features essays on a variety of subjects regarding the music of African Americans: vocal concert music, musical theater, Duke Ellington, and the relationship of the music to literature and art. An extensive music bibliography lists works composed during the period.
Thelonious Monk
From the mind of brilliant historian Robin Kelley comes the first full biography of legendary jazz musician Thelonious Monk, including full access to the family's archives, dozens of interviews, and an afterword for Monk’s 2017 centennial. Thelonious Monk is the critically acclaimed, gripping saga of an artist’s struggle to “make it” without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the twentieth century. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of “bebop” and establishing Monk as one of America’s greatest composers. Elegantly written and rich with humor and pathos, Thelonious Monk is the definitive work on modern jazz’s most original composer.
