Includes bibliographical references, discographies, and index.v. 1. Tori Amos ; Joan Baez ; Mary J. Blige ; Patsy Cline ; Ani DiFranco ; Missy Elliott ; Aretha Franklin ; Emmylou Harris ; Debbie Harry ; Chrissie Hynde ; The Indigo Girls ; Janis Joplin -- v. 2. Carole King ; Madonna ; Sarah McLachlan ; Joni Mitchell ; Dolly Parton ; Liz Phair ; Bonnie Raitt ; Linda Ronstadt ; Diana Ross ; Patti Smith ; Tina Turner ; Suzanne Vega.Popular music owes greatly to the spirit of rebellion. 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. Today's guitar-wielding heroines continue to blaze the trail, tapp.Electronic reproduction. Ann Arbor, MI : ProQuest, 2015. Available via World Wide Web.

Thelonious Monk : the life and times of an American original / by Kelley, Robin D. G.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 463-572) and index.His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of "bebop" and establishing Monk as one of America's greatest composers. Yet throughout much of his life, his musical contribution took a backseat to tales of his reputed behavior. Writers tended to obsess over Monk's hats or his proclivity to dance on stage. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. Now, historian Robin D.G. Kelley brings to light a startlingly different Thelonious Monk- witty, intelligent, generous, politically engaged, brutally honest, and a devoted father and husband. This is the saga of an artist's struggle to "make it" without compromising his musical vision; a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the twentieth century.-From publisher description.Prelude -- "My mother didn't want me to grow up in North Carolina" -- "What is jazz? New York, man!" -- "I always did want to play piano" -- "We played and she healed" -- "Why can't you play music like the Ink Spots?" -- "They weren't giving any lectures" -- "Since you went away I missed you" -- "I'm trying to see if it's a hit" -- "Dizzy and Bird did nothing for me musically" -- "The George Washington of Bebop" -- "It's a drag to be in jail" -- "The 'un' years" -- "France libre!" -- "Sometimes I play things I never heard myself" -- "The Greta Garbo of jazz" -- "As long as I can make a living" -- "People have tried to put me off as being crazy" -- "My time for fame will come" -- "The police just mess with you ... for nothing" -- "Make sure them tempos are right" -- "Hell, I did that twenty-five years ago" -- "Bebopens oversteprast" -- "Maybe I'm a major influence" -- "Everything begins here and everything ends here" -- "That's a drag picture they're paintin' of me" -- "Sometimes I don't feel like talking" -- "Let someone else create something new!" -- "What do I have to do? Play myself to death?" -- "I am very seriously ill!" -- Postlude -- Afterword -- Appendix A: A technical note on Monk's music -- Appendix B: Records and tapes in Thelonious Monk's personal collection -- Notes -- Original compositions by Thelonious Monk -- Selected recordings by Thelonious Monk -- Selected documentaries and videos of Thelonious Monk -- Index.

They are the guitar-wielding heroes who came into an established musical framework, rearranged the furniture, tipped over a few chairs, and ditched - leaving the stragglers to pick up the pieces. Guitar Gods showcases the 25 players who made the greatest impact on rock's long and winding history. Meet rock and roll's party crashers. They are the guitar-wielding heroes who came into an established musical framework, rearranged the furniture, tipped over a few chairs, and ditched - leaving the stragglers to pick up the pieces. Chuck Berry, for example, the first guitar player to jumpstart rock and roll, left audience eyeballs in spirals when he blasted them with his patented Chuck Berry intro, a clarion call that served as rock and roll's reveille. A few years later, Jimi Hendrix, inspired in part by Chuck, made a lasting impression on rock and roll in so many ways, leaving us all in a purple haze, and sending guitar players scurrying to take a new look at their instruments. The ripple-like effect of Hendrix continues to this day. Guitar Gods showcases the 25 players who made the greatest impact on rock and roll's long and winding history. All the players profiled in this book threw fans for a loop; their advancements in music left the genre in a different place than when they arrived.Electronic reproduction.

Acclaimed by jazz critics and fans alike, this magnificent work is now available in an up-to-date third edition that covers the latest developments in the jazz world and revisits virtually every aspect of the music.Gioia's story of jazz brilliantly portrays the most legendary jazz players, the breakthrough styles, and the scenes in which they evolved. From Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, Miles Davis's legendary 1955 performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, and Ornette Coleman's experiments with atonality to current innovators such as Kamasi Washington and Esperanza Spalding, Gioia takes readers on a sweeping journey through the history of jazz. As he traces the music through the swamp lands of the Mississippi Delta, the red light district of New Orleans, the rent parties of Harlem, the speakeasies of Chicago, and other key locales of jazz history, Gioia also makes the social contexts in which the music was born come alive.This new edition finally brings the often overlooked women who shaped the genre into the spotlight and traces the recent developments that have led to an upswing of jazz in contemporary mainstream culture. As it chronicles jazz from its beginnings and most iconic figures to its latest dialogues with popular music, the developments of the digital age, and new commercial successes, Gioia's History of Jazz reasserts its status as the most authoritative survey of this fascinating music. --
