Download or read book Modern Jazz Trumpet Legends written by Larry Kemp and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Jazz Trumpet Legends By: Larry Kemp Modern Jazz Trumpet Legends is an examination of the lives and contributions of jazz trumpeters born between 1925 and 1940. Included are Miles Davis, Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinsen, Chet Baker, and Clifford Brown along with scores of other men and women who created jazz with a trumpet. This is an essential guide for the student of jazz, those interested in history, and those who just like to read entertaining true stories about the most colorful people. The Jazz Trumpet Legends three volume series is the most comprehensive book on the subject. In the series, 867 trumpeters are discussed. The second volume covers the trumpeters in the center of the history of jazz. There are the sad stories of those who died too young (Clifford Brown at 25, Ray Wetzel at 27 from automobile accidents; Joe Gordon at 35 from a house fire; Booker Little at 23 from uremia), balanced by the positive stories of those who accomplished much with their lives (Miles Davis invented cool jazz and fusion; Maynard Ferguson took the trumpet to new heights; Lionel Ferbos performed regularly for a couple of years after his hundredth birthday; Clora Bryant and Betty O’Hara showed that women could get the job done on the trumpet). Modern Jazz Trumpet Legends contains two appendices that apply to trumpeters in all three volumes: a yearly calendar showing, for each day of the year, the trumpeters born on that date; and a geographical listing of the states and countries showing, for each place, the trumpeters born there. Early Jazz Trumpet Legends is the first of three volumes organized chronologically by date of birth. The second volume, Modern Jazz Trumpet Legends covers those born between 1925 and 1940 and the third volume, Current Jazz Trumpet Legends, covers those born after 1940.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Sri Lanka written by Patrick Peebles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka has had a celebrated history, a long colonial past, and since independence in 1948 has passed through a series of crises and political experiments. It has had a remarkable record of voters turning out unpopular governments, often by sweeping margins. On 8 January 2015 voters again performed this feat when Maithripala Sirisena, representing a coalition of disparate parties, defeated Mahinda Rajapaksa for the presidency. Rajapaksa was turning the nation away from its democratic heritage towards authoritarianism and militarism. Independent Sri Lanka’s economy stagnated for decades before it began to grow in the 1980s. It has had significant economic growth since the end of the 26-year war against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. Although reconciliation between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and Hindu, Muslim and Christian minorities seems distant, prospects for Sri Lanka seem better than they have been for decades. The Historical Dictionary of Sri Lanka contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Sri Lanka.

Download or read book Sorabji A Critical Celebration written by Paul Rapoport and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1892-1988) was an unusual legend in his own lifetime: a Parsi composer and critic living in England whose compositions are of such length and difficulty that he felt compelled to ban public performances of them. This book, the first devoted to Sorabji, explores his life and character, his music, his articles and letters. It both presents the legend accurately and dispels its exaggerated aspects. The portrait which emerges is not of a crank or eccentric but of a highly original and accomplished musical thinker whom recent performances and recordings confirm as unique and important. Most of the contributors knew Sorabji personally. They have all written about or performed his music, gaining international recognition for their work. Generous quotation of Sorabji's published and unpublished music and prose assists in bringing him and his work strikingly to life. The book also contains the most complete and accurate register of his work ever published.

Download or read book Alphabet of Solidarity written by Barbara Fedyszak-Radziejowska and published by Instytut Dziedzictwa Solidarności. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Alphabet of Solidarity” is primarily addressed to young readers who do not remember those events and usually know little about the history of Solidarity We want to explain to them why we – witnesses of that time – insist that this history is still alive, that it is so very important not only for us, but also for young Poles Because, surely, the history of Solidarity is fascinating and inspiring today too It contains a positive narrative about Poland and Poles Each generation gradually grows to respect its ancestors Because, without knowing who preceded us in the generational relay, we cannot understand ourselves Even if, as is the right of youth, we are ridiculing tradition, demonstrating that it means nothing to us – there comes a time when we find ourselves lacking this knowledge And we need it like we need oxygen The history of Solidarity not only inspires, but also enables us to respect our ancestors and our nation It lets us believe in the sense of fighting for an independent state, in the sense of patriotism, civil courage, altruism, love of our fellow man and the clearly understood pluralism and tolerance Such heritage is included in the tradition of Solidarity In order to talk about this, we selected a form that is easier to take in than a scientific book, with hope that it will also be read by those who usually stay away from scientific works Hence, the idea of the “Alphabet of Solidarity” format with short encyclopaedic entries The book contains an alphabetical collection of names, concepts, slogans, and surnames, which constitute a specific, synthetic guide through the history of the Solidarity Carnival of 1980–1981 The texts are not scientific Rather, they are testimonies of the authors, who, usually as an op-ed, describe the phenomena of the freedom revolution employing a variety of styles and conventions The authors who accepted our invitation to participate in this project are a varied and pluralistic group, just like Solidarity However, what they all have in common is the belief that we are all both debtors and heirs of Solidarity, and that it is a story worth telling The purpose of the “Alphabet of Solidarity” is to showcase the brighter side of our history, which still inspires people with the positive energy of that time, because… “There is no freedom without Solidarity” Krzysztof Nowak
