April 1865
Author: Jay Winik
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062029207
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
One month in 1865 witnessed the frenzied fall of Richmond, a daring last-ditch Southern plan for guerrilla warfare, Lee's harrowing retreat, and then, Appomattox. It saw Lincoln's assassination just five days later and a near-successful plot to decapitate the Union government, followed by chaos and coup fears in the North, collapsed negotiations and continued bloodshed in the South, and finally, the start of national reconciliation. In the end, April 1865 emerged as not just the tale of the war's denouement, but the story of the making of our nation. Jay Winik offers a brilliant new look at the Civil War's final days that will forever change the way we see the war's end and the nation's new beginning. Uniquely set within the larger sweep of history and filled with rich profiles of outsize figures, fresh iconoclastic scholarship, and a gripping narrative, this is a masterful account of the thirty most pivotal days in the life of the United States.

"Have you ever killed anyone? Not in self-defense." "What are you asking that for? "Because I'm curious." "You can't know what it feels like by being told." "I don't want to know what it feels like.

She is young, smart, and beautiful--and has no family, making her the perfect candidate. The organization offers her a deal.

Approaching the Standards, Vol 2
Author: Willie Hill
Publisher: Alfred Music Publishing
ISBN: 9780769293011
Category : Improvisation (Music)
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
"There are two groups of standards that help form the basic repertory used in jazz improvisation. The first group was created by jazz musicians directly from improvisation, experimentation and the analysis of musical forms, ideas and practices that were developed through study and the natural gifts of some of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century. This group codified jazz into chronological styles and provides concrete examples of its styles and concepts. The second group of standards is comprised of compositions written as popular songs during the first half of the twentieth century ... Every improviser is a composer who makes up melodies spontaneously. The model choruses give examples that can be studied, learned, broken into independent phrases and used to create other melodies that reflect more clearly what the improviser wants to say musically ..."--Preface
