Inside British Jazz: Crossing Borders of Race, Nation and Class (Ashgate Popular And Folk Music Ser.)
by Hilary MooreInside British Jazz explores specific historical moments in British jazz history and places special emphasis upon issues of race, nation and class. Topics covered include the reception of jazz in Britain in the 1910s and 1920s, the British New Orleans jazz revival of the 1950s, the free jazz innovations of the Joe Harriott Quintet in the early 1960s, and the formation of the all-black jazz band, the Jazz Warriors, in 1985. Using both historical and ethnographical approaches, Hilary Moore examines the ways in which jazz, an African-American music form, has been absorbed and translated within Britain's social, political and musical landscapes. Moore considers particularly the ways in which music has created a space of expression for British musicians, allowing them to re-imagine their place within Britain's social fabric, to participate in transcontinental communities, and to negotiate a position of belonging within jazz narratives of race, nation and class. The book also champions the importance of studying jazz beyond the borders of the United States and contributes to a growing body of literature that will enrich mainstream jazz scholarship.

Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd
by Nick MasonOne of the most fascinating rock bands ever, Pink Floyd was formed in 1965. After a year in the London 'underground' experimenting with revolutionary techniques like lights which matched their music, they released their first single in 1966. Their breakthrough album, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, was released in 1973 and stayed in the charts until 1982, the longest a record has ever been continuously in the charts, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 1975 they released WISH YOU WERE HERE which reached iconic status, then in 1979 THE WALL went to number 1 in almost every country in the world. The movie version of THE WALL starring Bob Geldof was released in 1982, becoming a cult favorite. In the 1980s a rift developed between the band members which culminated in law suits. Only recently have there been reconciliations which have allowed founder member Nick Mason to write his personal take on the band's history.(p) 2005 Orion Publishing Group

The Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka (Palgrave Studies in Music and Literature)
by Aldon Lynn NielsenThe Inside Songs of Amiri Baraka examines the full length of Baraka’s discography as a poet recording with musicians as well as his contributions to jazz and R & B, beginning with his earliest studio recordings in 1965 and continuing to the last year of his life, 2014. This recorded history traces his evolution from the era of Beat poetry and “projective verse,” through the period of the Black Arts Movement and cultural nationalism, and on to his commitments to “third world Marxism,” which characterized the last decades of his life. The music enfolding Baraka’s recitations ranges from traditional African drumming, to doo wop, rhythm and blues, soul and the avant garde jazz that was his great love and the subject of so much of his writing, and includes both in-studio sessions and live concert performances. This body of work offers a rare opportunity to think about not only jazz/poetry, but the poet in the recording studio and the relations of text to score.
Inside Songwriting: Getting To The Heart Of Creativity

It provides a richly detailed, no-holds-barred account of the author's personal experiences (trying to make a go of it in the topsy-turvy music world), and offers inspiration and practical instructions on the techniques and raw artistry required to put a song together.Far from being a traditional "how-to," each of the 60 short chapters in this book uses attention-grabbing anecdotes to relay valuable insights and important lessons. But Inside Songwriting also offers much more; it provides a rare look at the business of songwriting from "both sides of the desk," and offers aspiring songwriters what they need most--encouragement, comfort, and hope.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Insights in Sound: Visually Impaired Musicians' Lives and Learning (Music and Change: Ecological Perspectives)
by David Baker Lucy GreenMusic has long been a way in which visually impaired people could gain financial independence, excel at a highly-valued skill, or simply enjoy musical participation. Existing literature on visual impairment and music includes perspectives from the social history of music, ethnomusicology, child development and areas of music psychology, music therapy, special educational needs, and music education, as well as more popular biographical texts on famous musicians. But there has been relatively little sociological research bringing together the views and experiences of visually impaired musicians themselves across the life course. Insights in Sound: Visually Impaired Musicians’ Lives and Learning aims to increase knowledge and understanding both within and beyond this multifaceted group. Through an international survey combined with life-history interviews, a vivid picture is drawn of how visually impaired musicians approach and conceive their musical activities, with detailed illustrations of the particular opportunities and challenges faced by a variety of individuals. Baker and Green look beyond affiliation with particular musical styles, genres, instruments or practices. All 'levels' are included: from adult beginners to those who have returned to music-making after a gap; and from 'regular' amateur and professional musicians, to some who are extraordinarily 'elite' or 'successful'. Themes surrounding education, training, and informal learning; notation and ear playing; digital technologies; and issues around disability, identity, opportunity, marginality, discrimination, despair, fulfilment, and joy surfaced, as the authors set out to discover, analyse, and share insights into the worlds of these musicians.

The Inspiration Machine: Computational Creativity in Poetry and Jazz
by Eitan Y. WilfExplores how creative digital technologies and artificial intelligence are embedded in culture and society. In The Inspiration Machine, Eitan Y. Wilf explores the transformative potentials that digital technology opens up for creative practice through three ethnographic cases, two with jazz musicians and one with a group of poets. At times dissatisfied with the limitations of human creativity, these artists do not turn to computerized algorithms merely to execute their preconceived ideas. Rather, they approach them as creative partners, delegating to them different degrees of agentive control and artistic decision-making in the hopes of finding inspiration in their output and thereby expanding their own creative horizons. The algorithms these artists develop and use, however, remain rooted in and haunted by the specific social predicaments and human shortfalls that they were intended to overcome. Experiments in the digital thus hold an important lesson: although Wilf’s interlocutors returned from their adventures with computational creativity with modified, novel, and enriched capacities and predilections, they also gained a renewed appreciation for, and at times a desire to re-inhabit, non-digital creativity. In examining the potentials and pitfalls of seemingly autonomous digital technologies in the realm of art, Wilf shows that computational solutions to the real or imagined insufficiencies of human practice are best developed in relation to, rather than away from, the social and cultural contexts that gave rise to those insufficiencies, in the first place.
The Instant Composers Pool and Improvisation Beyond Jazz
by Floris SchuilingThe Instant Composers Pool and Improvisation Beyond Jazz contributes to the expansion and diversification of our understanding of the jazz tradition by describing the history and practice of one of the most important non-American jazz groups: The Instant Composers Pool, founded in Amsterdam in 1967. The Instant Composers Pool describes the meaning of "instant composition" from both a historical and ethnographic perspective. Historically, it details instant composition’s emergence from the encounter between various overlapping transnational avant-gardes, including free jazz, serialism, experimental music, electronic music, and Fluxus. The author shows how the improvising musicians not only engaged with the cultural politics of ethnicity and race involved in the negotiation of the boundaries of jazz as a cultural practice, but transformed the meaning of music in society—particularly the nature of improvisation and performance. Ethnographically, The Instant Composers Pool encourages readers to reconsider the conceptual tools we use to describe music performance, improvisation, and creativity. It takes the practice of "instant composition" as an opportunity to reflect on music performance as a social practice, which is crucial not only for jazz studies, but for general music scholarship.
Instead We Became Evil: A True Story Of Survival & Perseverance
by Sleiman Dart AdamsA powerful story of struggle, survival, and hope for the future is told by one of Denmark's most successful artists. The violent, compelling debut, co-written with journalist Dart Adams, provides a complex portrait of one man and the various ways in which every social system that was supposed to help him failed him, while also delving into the psychology of immigrant gangs and the young men who fall into them. But ultimately, it's a narrative about tenacity, survival, and optimism for the future. Sleiman was born in Lebanon during the 1982 bombardment and is a Palestinian. His family eventually moved to Denmark, but their new life there was far from perfect. Sleiman was subjected to domestic violence as well as social rejection as a Muslim immigrant. Angry and powerless, he found himself drawn to gang life.Sleiman had dropped out of school and was one of his gang's most feared and revered members as a teenager. He was involved in hundreds of crimes during his peak, but after surviving an attempted assassination, he addressed his demons and permanently abandoned the gang life. Sleiman is now narrating his story in his own words in the hopes of discouraging others from following in his footsteps.
Instrument
by Johnny Marr Pat GrahamInstruments tell stories through their appearance as much as through their sound. Pat Graham's photographs capture the intimate relationship between musician and instrument told by the signs of wear of fingers on frets or keys, chips, scratches, and modifications by the artists who have played, beaten on, bled over, and made them their own. For more than ten years, Graham has been documenting these amazing instruments and collecting stories about them from musicians on the road, in clubs, and at home, including members of The Smiths, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, R.E.M., New Order, Wire, Fugazi, Built to Spill, Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and many more. His gritty and beautiful images reveal the physical nature of music.
Instrumental: A Memoir Of Madness, Medication, And Music
by James RhodesAs memórias de um aclamado pianista que se salvou do inferno da depressão e do abuso graças à música. Uma inspiradora história de redenção. Mais de 100 mil leitores se deixaram tocar por este testemunho de superação. «Abusaram de mim aos seis anos. Internaram-me num hospital psiquiátrico. Fui viciado em drogas e álcool. Tentei suicidar-me cinco vezes. Separaram-me do meu filho. Mas não vou falar disso. Vou falar de música. Porque Bach salvou-me a vida. E eu amo a vida.» James confiava naquele homem simpático. Porque não haveria de confiar? Era seu professor na escola primária. A primeira oferta foi uma caixa de fósforos, um maravilhoso objecto de desejo para um menino de seis anos. Seguiram-se outros pequenos presentes, acompanhados de sorrisos, palavras de incentivo, gestos atenciosos. Depois começaram os abusos sexuais, que duraram vários anos, sem que ninguém na escola e na família se apercebesse. Quando terminaram, James afundou-se progressivamente num abismo de relações obsessivas, hospitais psiquiátricos e vícios destrutivos, uma espiral que o afastou do piano, para o qual revelara talento precoce. Mas foi um adágio de Bach, escutado durante um internamento, que o salvou de anos no fundo do poço. Ao descobrir que também os génios por trás das mais sublimes composições eram homens com existências dramáticas, James encontrou nos pequenos milagres da música o reduto para sobreviver aos seus demónios pessoais. Um encontro inesperado com um desconhecido deu-lhe o impulso de que James precisava para reencontrar o seu caminho na música. Hoje é um pianista aclamado em todo o mundo. Instrumental é um testemunho apaixonado e apaixonante, negro e luminoso, sobre o poder terapêutico da música e a sua capacidade de transformar as nossas vidas, mas também, e sobretudo, sobre a nossa capacidade de reinvenção. Os elogios da crítica: «Rhodes prova que a arte e a beleza podem ajudar; prova que a vida pode ser conquistada dia a dia.»El País «Estávamos a precisar deste livro.»Huffington Post UK «O que distingue este livro é a forma como ele confronta os aspectos indizíveis do abuso sexual das crianças e das doenças mentais... Muitos destes pensamentos são tabu e é preciso clareza, coragem e inteligência para os expressar de forma tão directa e honesta como Rhodes faz.»Independent «Bem escrito, coloquial, tão excitante quanto devastador. Como documento dos efeitos do abuso de crianças é, provavelmente, insuperável.»Sunday Times «Nunca li um testemunho tão sábio sobre o que é ser-se vítima... É visceral e palpável... Das páginas mais impactantes que li nos últimos tempos.»Scotland on Sunday «Uma obra impressionante. Combina uma precisão vívida e obsessiva com uma energia torrencial.»Guardian «Uma leitura dura, avassaladora.»The Times «Poderoso.»New Statesman «Uma vida que tinha de ficar registada.»Spectator
