- The birth of rock & roll : [electronic resource] : Music in the 1950s through the 1960s / by Wallenfeldt, Jeffrey H.; ProQuest (Firm);
- Includes bibliographical references and index.When rock and roll first burst onto the scene in the 1950s, it was more than a new form of music--it was a rebellion against the past. With the music of such artists as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and the Supremes came a new attitude that allowed fans--many of them young--to look past the social norms of the time, a shift that included a greater interaction with and understanding between the races. This stunning, story-filled volume examines the phenomenon of rock and roll--the way it was before it crept into the mainstream it had once retaliated against--and the many musicians who made it into an art.Electronic reproduction.

In all of its diversified, experimental, modern-day micro-genres, music's roots were first watered by good old-fashioned social dissension- its incendiary heights pushed heavenward by radicals and rogue revolutionaries. And perhaps none are more influential and non-conformist than women. Always first in line to give convention a sound thrashing, women in music have penned sonic masterpieces, championed sweeping social movements, and breathed life into sounds yet unimagined.

- Mary Chesnut's Civil War epic / [electronic resource] / by Stern, Julia A.; ProQuest (Firm);
- Includes bibliographical references and index.Walls: epic in miniature -- Seeds: fertility, flowers, and fratricide -- Seeds: fruits and famine -- Words: reading and writing -- Smells: the stench of slavery and sentiment -- Masks: theatricals in black -- Masks: theatricals in white -- Revolt: family troubles in the house divided -- Revolt: more family troubles in the house divided -- Recognition: looking defeat in the face.A genteel southern intellectual, saloniste, and wife to a prominent colonel in Jefferson Davis’s inner circle, Mary Chesnut today is remembered best for her penetrating Civil War diary. Composed between 1861 and 1865 and revised thoroughly from the late 1870s until Chesnut’s death in 1886, the diary was published first in 1905, again in 1949, and later, to great acclaim, in 1981. This complicated literary history and the questions that attend it—which edition represents the real Chesnut? To what genre does this text belong?—may explain why the document largely has, until now, been overlooked in literary studies. -- Amazon.Electronic reproduction. Ann Arbor, MI : ProQuest, 2015.

- Green Day : [electronic resource] : A musical biography / by Egerdahl, Kjersti.; ProQuest (Firm);
- Includes discography (p. [145]-151), bibliographical references (p. [157]-161), and index.Sweet children -- Lookout! -- Local heroes -- The big splash -- Walking contradiction -- Out on a limb -- Early warning -- Rebuilding an album-and a career -- Idiot proof -- Worth the fight.Green Day is almost certainly the worldos most popular pop-punk band. How they got there is the subject of Green Day: A Musical Biography, the first book to follow the band from their beginnings through the spring 2009 release of 21st Century Breakdown. Tracing the bandos evolution from fiercely independent punks to a global powerhouse, Green Day starts with the members' earliest musical influences and upbringing and the founding of the punk club 924 Gilman Street that shaped their sense of community. Discussion of their conflicted feelings about signing to a major label explores the classic rock 'n' roll conundrum of selling out, while details of their decline and 2004 rebirth offer an inspirational story of artistic rejuvenation. Interviews with the band members and key figures in their lives, excerpted from punk 'zines and other publications, offer a perspective on their methods of self-promotion and the image they have chosen to project over time.Electronic reproduction.

- Jazz [electronic resource] : A regional exploration / by Yanow, Scott.; ProQuest (Firm);
- Includes bibliographical references (p. [277]-279), discographies, and index. Sedalia and St. Louis : ragtime -- New Orleans jazz -- Chicago : classic jazz -- New York : the classic jazz and swing eras -- Kansas City swing, the territory bands, and the San Francisco revival -- New York bebop, Latin, and cool jazz -- Los Angeles : West Coast cool jazz -- New York : hard bop and soul jazz -- New York : free jazz and the avant-garde -- Chicago : the avant-garde -- New Orleans : the young lions -- Modern jazz : fusion and beyond."Considered by many audiophiles to be the one true form of American music, jazz evolved in many "scenes" throughout the country. The "Young Lions" jazz movement in New Orleans spread up the Mississippi in the Northern Migration. St. Louis and Sedalia, Missouri, became jazz centers, while Count Basie led a revolution in Kansas City. Chicago in the 1920s - the era of Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong - became a center of freewheeling jazz, while classic jazz and swing took root in New York City in the '30s and '40s behind Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Benny Goodman, the "King of Swing." And while "boogie woogie" and "hot jazz" grew out of the Big Apple, a generation of experimental musicians such as Chet Baker and Stan Kenton stood at the forefront of West Coast jazz and the Los Angeles scene. Noted jazz writer Scott Yanow carefully traces the evolution of jazz from regional manifestations to an increasingly national language at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries."--Jacket.Electronic reproduction.
