John Lenwood McLean - sugar free saxophonist from Sugar Hill,
Harlem - is widely known as one of the finest, most consistent
soloists in jazz history. From early in his career Jackie's
powerful, unsentimental, sometimes astringent sound and inventive
style made audiences and critics sit up and listen. Steeped in -
but eventually moving well beyond - the influence of his mentor and
friend Charlie Parker, he built an attractive, instantly
recognisable musical personality. As author Derek Ansell says, his
career trajectory is far from the typical jazz story of the tragic
artist in which early brilliance leads to later decline. McLean's
story is one of glorious triumph over the drug addiction that
affected so many of his friends and might have destroyed him. Able
to produce uniformly fine recordings through the darkest periods of
his personal life, he saw his reputation as a musician steadily
grow and became not only a living legend as an improviser but a
much respected educator whose students carry on his legacy.
Fortunately, McLean's discography is large and Derek Ansell is a
surefooted guide through the recordings, presenting them in the
context in which they were made and indicating the special gems
among a vast body of recorded work that is one of jazz's greatest
treasures.

With a huge reward on the line, the Stockwell Park Orchestra will
need to play on a whole new scale to win big... After a brief and
disastrous Resident Poet episode, Stockwell Park Orchestra is
invited to take part in a TV competition for classical music. For a
GBP50,000 prize some competitors are tempted to stretch the genre
to 'crossover' and beyond. Can a full concert orchestra compete
with jazz bands, horn quartets, harp ensembles, and Mrs Ford-Hughes
singing in Portuguese with nine cellos? Or will the competition be
derailed by the poet's return, this time sporting live Ambient
Sounds? The TV producers aren't worried: they know a good fight
means great ratings. What was supposed to be a quirky diversion
threatens to take over the orchestra's rehearsals for their own
concert, but discovering a voting scam means they must fix things
in the TV studio first. What people are saying about Life, Death
and Cellos: "I was charmed... a very enjoyable read." Marian Keyes
"Life, Death and Cellos is a witty and irreverent musical romp,
full of characters I'd love to go for a pint with. I thoroughly
enjoyed getting to know the Stockwell Park Orchestra and can't wait
for the next book in the series." Claire King, author of The Night
Rainbow "Life, Death and Cellos is that rare thing - a funny music
book. Rogers knows the world intimately, and portrays it with
warmth, accuracy and a poetic turn of phrase. Sharp, witty and
richly entertaining." Lev Parikian, author of Why Do Birds Suddenly
Disappear? "With its retro humour bordering on farce, this novel
offers an escape into the turbulent (and bonkers) world of the
orchestra." Isabel Costello, author of Paris Mon Amour "Dodgy
post-rehearsal curries, friendly insults between musicians,
sacrosanct coffee-and-biscuit breaks, tedious committee meetings:
welcome to the world of the amateur orchestra. Throw in a stolen
Stradivarius, an unexpected fatality and the odd illicit affair and
you have Life, Death and Cellos, the first in a new series by
Isabel Rogers." Rebecca Franks, BBC Music Magazine "...a very funny
tale of musical shenanigans set in the febrile atmosphere of the
Stockwell Park Orchestra" Ian Critchley
One chanter, three drones, three regulators, thirteen keys, too
many near-extinctions to mention and 300 years of heroes: that,
with a frisson of fairies on moonlit knolls, is the Irish uilleann
('ill-in') pipes. The Wheels Of The World presents an epic tale of
triumph and survival, where the soulful heart of a nation has been
kept alive across ages by a slender thread of guardians - blind
men, eccentrics, self-aggrandisers, noble heroes, bloody-minded
revivalists and at least three people compared to Jimi Hendrix.
Uilleann piping is Ireland's equivalent to the story of the blues
in America, save that here the trail of legends and lore is richer
and deeper by far. It is the sound of 18th-century blues - a
microtonal virtuoso machine wielded by misfits and geniuses, often
one and the same. This is the story of a continuum, from John
McSherry, a 21st-century icon, backwards in time through Paddy
Keenan, Liam O'Flynn, Finbar Furey, Seamus Ennis, Willie Clancy,
Johnny Doran, Leo Rowsome and Patsy Touhey - at the dawn of
recorded sound - and thence to find a litany of unrecorded legends
before them. It is also a snapshot of professional Irish
traditional musicians, after the gold rush of the late 20th
century, keeping calm and carrying on.
Teach kids how to play the recorder with fun lessons and sheet
music for beginners. With careful progression and performance
opportunities right from the start, this highly acclaimed method is
perfect for teaching beginners. This second edition of Book 1
features gorgeous new illustrations and audio downloads to support
learning. Ideal for both individual and whole-class teaching, with
fun activities and pieces with two parts. Suitable for both
generalist and specialist teachers. Stage 1 of a full scheme
comprising four books. Takes the learner from pre-reading to
playing and reading notes E, G, A, B and high C. Gradually
introduces music notation and theory.
A continental tour of Europe doesn't go quite as planned! When
Stockwell Park Orchestra goes on tour to Europe, it proves a
challenge for even the most efficient German logistical planner. A
teenage stowaway, brass players falling in canals and a sabotaged
timpani van are all in a day's work for Ingrid Bauer of Note
Perfect Tours, but even she can't solve all the problems this week
throws at her. Maybe a bit of surprise Bach can calm the muddy
Brexit waters. She just has to fish out the musicians first. Praise
for The Stockwell Park Orchestra Series: "I was charmed... a very
enjoyable read." Marian Keyes "Friendly insults between musicians,
sacrosanct coffee-and-biscuit breaks, tedious committee meetings:
welcome to the world of the amateur orchestra." BBC Music Magazine

The BBC's Jazz Book of the Year for 2008. Few jazz musicians have
had the lasting influence or attracted as much scholarly study as
John Coltrane. Yet, despite dozens of books, hundreds of articles,
and his own recorded legacy, the "facts" about Coltrane's life and
work have never been definitely established. Well-known Coltrane
biographer and jazz educator Lewis Porter has assembled an
international team of scholars to write The John Coltrane
Reference, an indispensable guide to the life and music of John
Coltrane. The John Coltrane Reference features a a day-by-day
chronology, which extends from 1926-1967, detailing Coltrane's
early years and every live performance given by Coltrane as either
a sideman or leader, and a discography offering full session
information from the first year of recordings, 1946, to the last,
1967. The appendices list every film and television appearance, as
well as every recorded interview. Richly illustrated with over 250
album covers and photos from the collection of Yasuhiro Fujioka,
The John Coltrane Reference will find a place in every major
library supporting a jazz studies program, as well as John Coltrane
enthusiasts.

The authors' new approach to learning two playing techniques offers a systematic method for mastering the modern, legato technique needed for organ music composed after 1750, as well as an articulated technique for earlier works. The authors also present useful information on accompanying anthems and solos and on adapting piano and orchestral accompaniments to the organ.
The first part of the book outlines the historical background of
the taegum. The author illuminates the potential future of the
Korean flute in a globalised world through the analyses of three
musical works for taegum. The second part of the book draws on
approaches of Practice Research within musicology and sociology to
examine the ways in which the taegum tradition interacts with, and
responds to, different genres in performance. Documenting
collaborative encounters with musicians from three musical
cultures: jazz, Western art and electroacoustic music, the result
is an innovative exploration of the musical and social
relationships between composers, performers and audiences in
intercultural performances, contrasting traditional uses of the
taegum with perspectives on its use today.
This comprehensive method for the beginner to advanced is
especially designed for use in private lessons. It introduces each
new concept with fingering exercises, scale exercises, and etudes.
Advanced techniques and concepts such as harmonics, vibrato,
trills, interpretation, and phrasing are outlined succinctly
through descriptive text and musical examples. A segment called
"Representative Literature" contains exemplary flute music and
photographs of flutes from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical,
Romantic, and Contemporary periods giving students a broad
historical perspective of both flute literature and the development
and use of various types of flutes.
Originally published in 1975, and written by an authority on
Scottish music, this book traces the evolution of the bagpipe
whilst also narrating the fortunes of the 'Great Highland Bagpipe'
itself. Exploring history and archaeology of civilizations as far
removed from the Scottish Highlands as Egypt and Mesopotamia,
Greece and Rome this book offers a unique full-length history of
one of the world's most interesting and ancient musical
instruments. Appendices list the bagpipes of other countries and
the materials used in the instrument's manufacture as well as a
comprehensive bibliography.
Thomas Ravenscroft is best-known as a composer of rounds owing to
his three published collections: Pammelia and Deuteromelia (both
1609), and Melismata (1611), in addition to his harmonizations of
the Whole Booke of Psalmes (1621) and his original sacred works. A
theorist as well as a composer and editor, Ravenscroft wrote two
treatises on music theory: the well-known A Briefe Discourse
(1614), and 'A Treatise of Practicall Musicke' (c.1607), which
remains in manuscript. This is the first book to bring together
both theoretical works by this important Jacobean musician and to
provide critical studies and transcriptions of these treatises. A
Briefe Discourse furthermore introduces an anthology of music by
Ravenscroft, John Bennet, and Ravenscroft's mentor, Edward Pearce,
illustrating some of the precepts in the treatise. The critical
discussion provided by Duffin will help explain Ravenscroft's
complicated consideration of mensuration, in particular.
