Download or read book Black Popular Music in Britain Since 1945 written by Jon Stratton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Popular Music in Britain Since 1945 provides the first broad scholarly discussion of this music since 1990. The book critically examines key moments in the history of black British popular music from 1940s jazz to 1970s soul and reggae, 1990s Jungle and the sounds of Dubstep and Grime that have echoed through the 2000s. While the book offers a history it also discusses the ways black musics in Britain have intersected with the politics of race and class, multiculturalism, gender and sexuality, and debates about media and technology. Contributors examine the impact of the local, the ways that black music in Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and London evolved differently and how black popular music in Britain has always developed in complex interaction with the dominant British popular music tradition. This tradition has its own histories located in folk music, music hall and a constant engagement, since the nineteenth century, with American popular music, itself a dynamic mixing of African-American, Latin American and other musics. The ideas that run through various chapters form connecting narratives that challenge dominant understandings of black popular music in Britain and will be essential reading for those interested in Popular Music Studies, Black British Studies and Cultural Studies.

Download or read book Black Popular Music in America written by Arnold Shaw and published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers. This book was released on 1986 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Shaw correctly states, no single volume covers the history of black popular music in its entirety, and most studies have focused on the white mainstream. American pop music is in fact a blend of black and white musical influences that can be better understood if explored from a black perspective. Shaw examines five key black stylesminstrelsy, spirituals, ragtime, jazz, and bluesanalyzing the origins and developments of each, profiling important artists and songs, and exploring the "white synthesis." Often the "synthesis" has amounted to little more than a soulless white imitation of inspired black stylistic innovations.

Download or read book Black British Jazz written by Jason Toynbee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black British musicians have been making jazz since around 1920 when the genre first arrived in Britain. This groundbreaking book reveals their hidden history and major contribution to the development of jazz in the UK. More than this, though, the chapters show the importance of black British jazz in terms of musical hybridity and the cultural significance of race. Decades before Steel Pulse, Soul II Soul, or Dizzee Rascal pushed their way into the mainstream, black British musicians were playing jazz in venues up and down the country from dance halls to tiny clubs. In an important sense, then, black British jazz demonstrates the crucial importance of musical migration in the musical history of the nation, and the links between popular and avant-garde forms. But the volume also provides a case study in how music of the African diaspora reverberates around the world, beyond the shores of the USA - the engine-house of global black music. As such it will engage scholars of music and cultural studies not only in Britain, but across the world.

Download or read book Sounds Like London written by Lloyd Bradley and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as people have been migrating to London, so has their music. An essential link to home, music also has the power to shape communities in surprising ways. Black music has been part of London's landscape since the First World War, when the Southern Syncopated Orchestra brought jazz to the capital. Following the wave of Commonwealth immigration, its sounds and styles took up residence to become the foundation of the city's youth culture. Sounds Like London tells the story of the music and the larger-than-life characters making it, journeying from Soho jazz clubs to Brixton blues parties to King's Cross warehouse raves to the streets of Notting Hill - and onto sound systems everywhere. As well as a journey through the musical history of London, Sounds Like London is about the shaping of a city, and in turn the whole nation, through music. Contributors include Eddy Grant, Osibisa, Russell Henderson, Dizzee Rascal and Trevor Nelson, with an introduction by Soul2Soul's Jazzie B.
Download or read book British R B a Study of Black Popular Music Revivalism in the United Kingdom 1960 1964 written by Sean Lorre and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation is a study of rhythm and blues as it was performed and received in the UK between 1960 and 1964 as well as the conditions and events that precipitated its arrival. "British R&B" is concerned primarily with understanding how the category of "rhythm and blues" came to be defined, debated and redefined in the UK during this period. Drawing tools from musicology, sociology, critical race theory and cultural studies, this dissertation addresses the consumption and emulation of rhythm and blues primarily through close readings of contemporaneous discourse and exemplary musical performances. The goal of this project is to provide a cultural and musical study of the short-lived genre of British R&B that allows the complexity of the phenomenon to be highlighted and better understood; one that avoids the common, opposing pitfalls of uncritical celebration and out-of-hand dismissal. The historical moment of early 1960s' British R&B is at once exalted and derided, and, depending on one's point of view, labeled appropriation in either the most positive or most negative senses of the term." --
