Blowin’ Hot And Cool : Jazz And Its Critics
Attribution
John GennariPublication Details
BookUniversity of Chicago Press2006Links
Description
In the illustrious and richly documented history of American jazz, no figure has been more controversial than the jazz critic. And while the tradition of jazz has been covered from seemingly every angle, nobody has ever turned the pen back on itself to chronicle the many writers who have helped define how we listen to and how we understand jazz. For Gennari, the jazz tradition is not so much a collection of recordings and performances as it is a rancorous debate?the dissonant noise clamoring in response to the sounds of jazz.

Coming Out Of War : Poetry, Grieving, And The Culture Of The World Wars
Attribution
Janis P. StoutPublication Details
BookUniversity of Alabama Press2005Links
Description
American and British poetry, music, and visual art born of World Wars I and II. While probing the work of such well known war poets as Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, and Randall Jarrell, Stout also highlights the impact of the wars on lesser studied, but equally compelling, sources such as the music of Charles Ives and Cole Porter, Aaron Copland and Irving Berlin. A final chapter considers Benjamin Britten?s War Requiem as a culmination and embodiment of the anti-war tradition in 20th-century poetry and music, and speculates on the reasons why, despite their abundance and eloquence, these expressions of grief and opposition to war have effected so little change.
