Sinopsis

A music journalist offers a lively history of modern jazz through its formative and most vital decades—from Charlie Parker to John Coltrane. 
 
In Giant Steps, Kenny Mathieson examines the most important figures in the creation of modern jazz, detailing the emergence and evolution of bebop through the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis. Using this as its starting point, Mathieson then delves into the developments of jazz composition, modal jazz and free jazz.  
 
The music of the great masters is examined in detail and will provide both a fine introduction for the large audience newly attracted to the music but unsure of their direction through it, as well as an entertaining and informative read for those with a more substantial background.
Disponible desde: 01/03/2012.

    Read by the author. 
    We live in a world of noise where everyone is so quick to speak. When we slow down and give someone our full attention, we offer them a safe place to be fully heard and accepted. 
    Hear’s the Thing is a story about what is possible when someone is brave enough to listen to others… and, ultimately, themselves without judgement. 
    For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family. 
    In his debut memoir, Hear’s the Thing, Cody shares some of the many lessons he’s learned along the way such as:How to actively listen with empathy and without judgmentWhy a willingness to “let people in” better equips you to receive from othersHow genuine attentiveness can help you build healthier and deeper relationships 
    The art of listening is often lost but Cody’s story will inspire you to hear that inner voice that is leading you to a deeper connection with yourself and the people around you.

    The American West has always provided larger than life characters, righting wrongs to make the world a better place and all set in a mythic landscape.   
     
    In ‘The Six-Shooter’ James Stewart starred as Britt Ponset, a drifting cowboy in the sunset years of the wild west. Episodes ranged from straight western drama to light and sentimental comedy.  Stewart being one of the reigning stars of Hollywood at the time also brought his own touches to bear. His use of whispered narration during tense scenes created a heightened sense of drama and then relief when the situation was resolved. 
     
    The American West that radio, movies, and TV portrayed is the stuff of legends; a fictional concoction usually far from the truth but ‘The Six-Shooter’ did something that few other radio shows could provide; entertainment that captivated the listener.

    The piano is a musical instrument that has been around for centuries. It has been the instrument favored by many of the greatest composers who ever lived. They used the piano to create some of the most impressive, expressive, and emotionally-complex pieces of music that are still as beloved by a modern audience as they were when they were first composed. Names like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Joseph Haydn, Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are indelibly etched into the fabric of history, celebrated for the mastery of their craft and ability to conjure music from the depths of their souls like magic. Many people hope to follow in their footsteps by taking up the piano themselves. As a budding pianist, you are in great company.  
    Beginning your piano-playing journey is as simple as deciding you want to start tickling the ivories. Anyone can sit down behind the keyboard and start hitting notes. The difficulty comes when you actually want to translate what you see on sheet music or hear within your mind into actual music. Some basic skills, techniques, and knowledge can give you a huge boost in the early stages of your career as a pianist. Once you have committed to learning how to play the piano, you will need to learn how to read sheet music, gain a foundation in music theory, and become familiar with the hand T 2 positions and finger exercises necessary to smoothly transition from neophyte to expert.
