  For the first time, renown player and educator Richie Beirach puts in print his five decade long experiences as both a student and instructor of jazz.  
  Performer, author, and teacher, Michael Lake, collaborates with Richie to produce this honest no-holds bared examination of how jazz is taught and learned. 
  Discover the 100-year evolution of jazz education, the makings for an effective teacher, the realities of a university education and how best to choose the right school, the mindset and technologies available to elevate musicians in their pursuit of jazz, the psychological process of learning a complex skill like music, and the future these two passionate jazz advocates see for this music. 
  “Richie’s thoughts within this book are as tight as usual. He positions himself in a way that could be construed as argumentative on several subjects but always thought-out and logical (as he is musically as well.)  
  The mentors description with Richie as the centerpiece are historical in their implications considering the learning on the job atmosphere that our generation reveled in.  
  Richie discusses the workings of the present situation in higher learning and future remedies that could be applied. The book is strongly optimistic and will inspire readers to think deeply about the legacy of jazz education.”

  “Teaching and Learning Jazz is the most important book on jazz education I have ever read, and possibly ever written!”

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Inglourious Basterds, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a World War II film that blends historical fiction with intense action. It follows two main storylines: one about a group of Jewish-American soldiers, led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who aim to instill fear in the Nazi army by killing and scalping German soldiers. The other centers on Shosanna Dreyfus, a young Jewish woman who seeks revenge on the Nazis after they kill her family. Tarantino uses themes of vengeance, justice, and survival, blending intense violence with sharp dialogue and dark humor in a unique and stylized narrative. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Inglourious Basterds marked the first Quentin Tarantino film to win an Oscar for acting, with Christoph Waltz receiving the Best Supporting Actor award. Waltz went on to win another Oscar for his role in Django Unchained (2012).” 
    
  “In a roundtable discussion with Brad Pitt, Tarantino revealed that Til Schweiger, who was born and raised in Germany, had always refused to wear a Nazi uniform for a film. However, Schweiger agreed to do so on the condition that he could kill a Nazi in every scene where he wore one.” 
    
  “Tarantino spent nearly a decade working on the script for Inglourious Basterds.” 
    
  “Colonel Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz, speaks the most languages in the film, including English, French, German, and Italian.”

  The Grand Budapest Hotel is a whimsical comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, set in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka during the early 20th century.

The film explores themes of loyalty, friendship, nostalgia, and the rise of fascism, blending humor with poignant moments, all delivered in Anderson's signature visual style and precise storytelling. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The Grand Budapest Hotel became the highest-grossing independent movie of 2014 and also the highest-grossing limited-release movie of that year.” 
    
  “The fictional country of Zubrowka, where the film takes place, was named after a Polish vodka liqueur called Zubrowka.” 
    
  “Saoirse Ronan, who plays Agatha, explained in an interview that making the hotel's signature pastry, the Courtisane au Chocolat, wasn’t easy. Unlike most films, the food plays a major role and required actual baking.” 
    
  “L'Air de Panache (The Air of Plume) was a fragrance created by a Parisian boutique for Wes Anderson to gift his actors and actresses.”

  The first book to celebrate the miniature-scale model The Panorama of the City of New York.
  An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment.
  The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World's Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city's parks and streets.
  Now part of the permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Panorama brings the magic of New York to life to thousands of visitors each year.
