Sideman
Author: Mark Rivera
Publisher: BenBella Books
ISBN: 1637743009
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
While most successful sidemen are lucky to spend a decade in the music business, multi-instrumentalist Mark Rivera is working on his fifth. Best known as Billy Joel’s saxophonist as well as Musical Director for Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band, Rivera has shared the stage with some of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s greatest performers, including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Tony Bennett, Sheila E., Joe Walsh, Hall & Oates, and Peter Gabriel. How does he do it while avoiding the typical pitfalls—falling out of favor with the band, burnout, depression? A devoted father and husband for nearly forty years, Rivera’s recollections in Sideman demonstrate that while he struggled to balance the two worlds—a rock ‘n’ roller circling the globe and a regular guy worried about putting food on the table—his body’s compulsion to always be playing music kept him in constant pursuit of “the next gig.” The sideman is put to the test as he recounts his past from the confines of a global pandemic, and the man accustomed to “keeping up with the music” is forced to put down his instruments and reflect. Full of optimism, humor, and candor, Rivera turns the spotlight on the sideman’s life, revealing not only what it takes to climb the industry ladder (and stay there), but something more surprising: a bit of ourselves rocking out amongst all those superstars.

Hard Bop Academy
Author: Alan Goldsher
Publisher: Hal Leonard Corporation
ISBN: 9780634037931
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers was one of the most enduring, popular, reliable and vital small bands in modern jazz history. Blakey was not only a distinguished, inventive and powerful drummer, but along with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, he was one of jazz's foremost talent scouts. The musicians who flowed seamlessly in and out of this constantly evolving collective during its 36-year run were among the most important artists not just of their eras, but of any era. Though their respective innovations were vital to the evolution of bebop, hard bop and neo bop, the recorded work of the Messengers sidemen has never been properly analyzed. Until now. Hard Bop Academy: The Sidemen of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers critically examines the multitude of gifted artists who populated the many editions of the Jazz Messengers. In addition to dissecting the sidemen's most consequential work with Blakey's band, jazz musician and acclaimed novelist Alan Goldsher offers up engaging profiles of everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Terence Blanchard to Hank Mobley to Wayne Shorter to Horace Silver to Keith Jarrett to Curtis Fuller to Steve Davis. And that's only the beginning. Goldsher conducted over 30 interviews with surviving graduates of Blakey's Hard Bop Academy, many of whom spoke at length of their tenure with the legendary "Buhaina" for the first time. Alan Goldsher is a bassist who has recorded with Janet Jackson, Digable Planets, Cypress Hill and Naughty By Nature. His writing has been published in Bass Player, Tower Pulse, Sport and BasketBull: Chicago Bulls Magazine. Goldsher's debut novel, Jam, was published in 2002 by Permanent Press. He lives in Chicago. Hardcover.

The New Age of Electronic Dance Music and Club Culture
Author: Anita Jóri
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030390020
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive overview of electronic dance music (EDM) and club culture. To do so, it interlinks a broad range of disciplines, revealing their (at times vastly) differing standpoints on the same subject. Scholars from such diverse fields as cultural studies, economics, linguistics, media studies, musicology, philosophy, and sociology share their perspectives. In addition, the book features articles by practitioners who have been active on the EDM scene for many years and discuss issues like gender and diversity problems in general, and the effects of gentrification on club culture in Berlin. Although the book’s main focus is on Berlin, one of the key centers of EDM and club culture, its findings can also be applied to other hotspots. Though primarily intended for researchers and students, the book will benefit all readers interested in obtaining an interdisciplinary overview of research on electronic dance music.

Book Description
Sideman is a compelling fiction novel about a young man named Jason James, who finds himself smack in the middle of a full-scale country music career! Join Jason and his bandmates as they travel from town to town doing the most people dream of. He could be making money playing music! The story begins atop an old storm cellar, a hidy-hole used to protect folks from the vicious attacks that tornados would inflict on them. Jason and Katy, his cousin, would use the cellar as the perfect Pseudo-Opry stage, spending countless hours after school pretending they were on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, playing before a packed house with an audience played by Jason's five-year-old brother Kevin. Little did he know it would serve as part of a vast degree of training that would serve him well-as a SIDEMAN! Join Jason and his bandmates as they ride the Silver Eagle to town after town. Experience the highs and lows, heartaches and triumphs that can only come from being a Country Music SIDEMAN! Jay D Lankford, the author of SIDEMAN, has been through quite a storm over the past few years. It began in 2009 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Then in August 2021, he and his wife of over 43 years, Patti, was diagnosed with COVID-19 and were hospitalized. Jay survived. Patti did not. Lankford has also written over 2000 songs which continues to be his fastball. He lives in a small town in OKLAHOMA called Bristow, only 18 miles from his hometown of Stroud, where he grew up. He is widowed but has lately been seeing someone who is, in his words, the love of his life-Nicol Richards. He has been keeping busy writing and having penned a western trilogy series about a man named Buck Davis, an adventurous cowboy who goes through everything from a war to a battle with the KKK in a thrilling three-part series. If you like Westerns, you will love them.
