A Música Popular no Ensino Superior
A entrada da Música Popular como uma possibilidade de formação de músicos em nível superior no Brasil trouxe grandes desafios para um ambiente que foi, desde o seu início, forjado na tradição da música de concerto europeia. Isso tem provocado a nossa reflexão, demandando a revisão de antigas crenças, valores e costumes. Este livro traz à luz algumas dessas questões, situando histórica e socialmente esse fenômeno, ao mesmo tempo em que aponta caminhos possíveis para pensarmos a nossa realidade pedagógica no espaço do ensino superior.
Experiencing Big Band Jazz
The era of popular music from about 1917 onward saw an explosion of creative songwriting that converged with a new sound from reed, brass, and rhythm instruments. Jazz was born, and the musical sophistication that accompanied this original sound set the stage for the prominence of arrangers, whose role in big band orchestrations became as important as jazz musicians and composers themselves. The Big Band evolved as a unique phenomenon in American music history. With both studio and live vintage recordings readily available, an investigation of how to listen and experience Big Band music is overdue. In Experiencing Big Band Jazz: A Listener’s Companion, composer/arranger, music historian, a...
Carnaval do Recife
Os estudos do pesquisador Leonardo Dantas, sob o título geral de Carnaval do Recife, contribuem de maneira decisiva, para a compreensão do Carnaval, a velha festa coletiva universal, transformada no Brasil em fenômeno representativo da cultura nacional. O livro não se esgota nessas contribuições históricas propriamente ditas, mas acompanha todo o processo das criações populares englobadas sob o nome de Carnaval, até o presente, com notícias sobre a apropriação do gênero de música e de dança do frevo pela indústria fonográfica, sobre o problema do "Carnaval dirigido", e das implicações da visão não pernambucana do frevo, após sua exportação para outros pontos do País, sob a égide da indústria cultural. Tudo isso faz do Carnaval do Recife um livro de leitura obrigatória para quem deseje conhecer alguma coisa nova em matéria de História do Carnaval no Brasil.

Is Jazz Dead?
Is Jazz Dead? examines the state of jazz in America at the turn of the twenty-first century. Musicians themselves are returning to New Orleans, Swing, and Bebop styles, while the work of the '60s avant-garde and even '70s and '80s jazz-rock is roundly ignored. Meanwhile, global jazz musicians are creating new and exciting music that is just starting to be heard in the United States, offering a viable alternative to the rampant conservatism here. Stuart Nicholson's thought-provoking book offers an analysis of the American scene, how it came to be so stagnant, and what it can do to create a new level of creativity. This book is bound to be controversial among jazz purists and musicians; it will undoubtedly generate discussion about how jazz should grow now that it has become a recognized part of American musical history. Is Jazz Dead? dares to ask the question on all jazz fan's minds: Can jazz survive as a living medium? And, if so, how?

Jazz/Not Jazz
“Jazz/Not Jazz is an innovative and inspiring investigation of jazz as it is practiced, theorized and taught today. Taking their cues from current debates within jazz scholarship, the contributors to this collection open up jazz studies to a transdisciplinarity that is rich in its diversity of approaches, candid in its appraisals of critical worth, transparent in its ideological suppositions, and catholic in its subjects/objects of inquiry.”—Kevin Fellezs, author of Birds of Fire: Jazz, Rock, Funk and the Creation of Fusion. “This collection is a delight. Each essay opens up some previously ignored aspect of jazz history. Anyone who knows the New Jazz Studies and is wise enough to acquire this book will immediately devour it.”—Krin Gabbard, author of Hotter Than That: The Trumpet, Jazz, and American Culture. “This volume is truly one of a kind, eminently readable and filled with new insights. It will make an extremely important contribution to jazz literature.”—Jeffrey Taylor, Director, H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music, Brooklyn College.
Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites
What is unique about Richard Norton's book is that it is both a field guide to observing meteors, and also a field guide to locating, preparing and analysing meteorites. In addition to giving the reader information about observing techniques for meteors, this book also provides a fully detailed account of the types of meteorites, how and where to find them, how to prepare and analyse them. The book provides everything the amateur astronomer (or geologist!) needs to know about meteors and meteorites. It is thus the only complete book on the subject available at present.
