Message to Our Folks
This year marks the golden anniversary of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the flagship band of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Formed in 1966 and flourishing until 2010, the Art Ensemble distinguished itself by its unique performance practices—members played hundreds of instruments on stage, recited poetry, performed theatrical sketches, and wore face paint, masks, lab coats, and traditional African and Asian dress. The group, which built a global audience and toured across six continents, presented their work as experimental performance art, in opposition to the jazz industry’s traditionalist aesthetics. In Message to Our Folks, Paul Steinbeck combines musical an...
Of Comics and Men
This is a seminal study of the evolution and development of the American comic from the 1930s to the present day. The book is divided into three sections covering the history, an overview of the distribution and consumption of American comic books, and an account of the popularisation and legitimisation of the comic book form.
The Wire Primers
Since it was founded in 1982, The Wire magazine has covered a vast range of alternative, experimental, underground and non-mainstream music. Now some of that knowledge has been distilled into The Wire Primers: a comprehensive guide to the core recordings of some of the most visionary and inspiring, subversive and radical musicians on the planet, past and present. Each chapter surveys the musical universe of a particular artist, group or genre by way of a contextualizing introduction and a thumbnail guide to the most essential recordings. A massive and eclectic range of music is celebrated and demystified, from rock mavericks such as Captain Beefheart and The Fall; the funk of James Brown and Fela Kuti; the future jazz of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman; and the experimental compositions of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Genres surveyed and explained include P-funk, musique concrète, turntablism, Brazilian Tropicália, avant metal and dubstep. The Wire Primers is a vital guide to contemporary sounds, providing an accessible entry point for any reader wanting to dig below the surface of mainstream music.
Pulp Surrealism
In addition to its more well known literary and artistic origins, the French surrealist movement drew inspiration from currents of psychological anxiety and rebellion running through a shadowy side of mass culture, specifically in fantastic popular fiction and sensationalistic journalism. The provocative nature of this insolent mass culture resonated with the intellectual and political preoccupations of the surrealists, as Robin Walz demonstrates in this fascinating study. Pulp Surrealism weaves an interpretative history of the intersection between mass print culture and surrealism, re-evaluating both our understanding of mass culture in early twentieth-century Paris and the revolutionary ai...

Il canto della Fenice. Il libero jazz di Jeanne Lee
IL LIBRO. Il 25 gennaio 2019 fu pubblicato uno dei più importanti album di inediti degli ultimi anni nell’ambito della musica jazz: una doppia raccolta di brani registrati tra la fine del 1966 e l’inizio del 1967 e rimasti per cinquant’anni dimenticati negli archivi prima di essere riscoperti. L’album di cui stiamo parlando è The Newest Sound You Never Heard e il suono “che non abbiamo mai sentito” evocato dal titolo è quello del duo formato da Ran Blake al piano e dalla voce di Jeanne Lee. Grazie al ritrovamento e alla pubblicazione di queste registrazioni inedite, Jeanne Lee torna a far parlare di sé. Rinasce, come una fenice, la voce, ma anche lo spirito di un’artista ch...
Underground U.S.A. : la bande dessinée de la contestation
De la satire délirante et de l'ironie sérieuse, de l'amusement et de la réflexion, du sexe et du sexisme, de la paix, de l'amour et de la haine, de merveilleuses recherches techniques et des gribouillis, le tout mis en bandes dessinées pour adultes, c'est ce qui mena - à l'époque des hippies et de la contestation - à la création de l'Underground et de ses comix. Témoin actif de la libération des mœurs et de l'expansion, l'Underground s'est dilué dans toute la bande dessinée, changeant les habitudes de lecture et de production. Peu connu en France, son influence s'est pourtant fait sentir. Jacques Bisceglia et Sylvie Brod proposent un historique et une description de ce phénomène aux États-Unis, qu'ils approfondissent, en étudiant l'œuvre de quelques individualités fortes : - Victor Moscoso et les affichistes de San Francisco, - Skip Williamson et Chicago, - Jaxon, l'historien du Texas, - Trina Robbins et les femmes, - Robert Crumb, - Greg Irons, - Guy Colwell, - Art Spiegelman, avec de nombreuses illustrations tirées de la production de ces artistes, et de bien d'autres auteurs de l'Underground.
