History of Pittsburgh Jazz, A: Swinging in the Steel City
"Pittsburgh's contributions to the uniquely American art form of jazz are essential to its national narrative. Fleeing the Jim Crow South in the twentieth century, African American migration to the industrial North brought musical roots that would lay the foundation for jazz culture in the Steel City. As migrant workers entered the factories of Pittsburgh, juke joints and nightclubs opened in the segregated neighborhoods of the Hill District, Northside and East Liberty. The scene fostered numerous legends, including Art Blakey, Billy Strayhorn, George Benson, Erroll Garner and Earl "Fatha" Hines. The music is sustained today in the practice rooms of the city's universities and by groups such as the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild and the African American Music Institute. Authors Richard Gazarik and Karen Anthony Cole chart the swinging history of jazz in Pittsburgh"--Page 4 of cover.

Electro Swing
Electro swing is a relatively recent musical style and scene which combines the music of the swing era with that of the age of electronic dance music. Chris Inglis considers key questions about electro swing’s place in contemporary society, including what it may mean for a contemporary genre to be so reliant upon the influences of the past; the different ways in which jazz may be presented to a modern audience; how one may go about defining jazz in today's postmodern world; and how this emergent genre may be analysed in terms of the wider issues of race and class consumption.
Ernettiho stroj
Jakkoliv se to zdá neuvěřitelné, tento román se zakládá na skutečném příběhu. Odehrál se v Římě, ve Vatikánu. Uprostřed studené války, mezi lety 1956 a 1965, povolali jednoho kněze, aby zkonstruoval stroj na cestování v čase. Ten kněz se jmenoval Pellegrino Ernetti. Otec Ernetti měl se svým „chronovizorem“, jak stroj nazvali, zprostředkovat různé druhy obrazů z nedávné i velmi vzdálené minulosti. Vatikán si od něj sliboval, že díky autentickým dokumentům podpoří upadající víru a přinese důkazy o existenci Ježíše Krista. Měl zaznamenat fascinující detaily z jeho života, svědectví o ukřižování a zmrtvýchvstání a potvrdit, že ...
