Want the word on Buffy Sainte-Marie? Looking for the best powwow
recordings? Wondering what else Jim Pepper cut besides "Witchi Tai
To"? This book will answer those questions and more as it opens up
the world of Native American music. In addition to the widely heard
sounds of Carlos Nakaias flute, Native music embraces a wide range
of forms: country and folk, jazz and swing, reggae and rap. Brian
Wright-McLeod, producer/host of Canadaas longest-running Native
radio program, has gathered the musicians and their music into this
comprehensive reference, an authoritative source for biographies
and discographies of hundreds of Native artists. "The Encyclopedia
of Native Music" recognizes the multifaceted contributions made by
Native recording artists by tracing the history of their
commercially released music. It provides an overview of the
surprising abundance of recorded Native music while underlining its
historical value. With almost 1,800 entries spanning more than 100
years, this book leads readers from early performers of traditional
songs like William Horncloud to artists of the new millennium such
as Zotigh. Along the way, it includes entries for jazz and blues
artists never widely acknowledged for their Native roots--Oscar
Pettiford, Mildred Bailey, and Keely Smith--and traces the
recording histories of contemporary performers like Rita Coolidge
and Jimmy Carl Black, "the Indian of the group" in the original
Mothers of Invention. It also includes film soundtracks and
compilation albums that have been instrumental in bringing many
artists to popular attention. In addition to music, it lists
spoken-word recordings, including audio books, comedy, interviews,
poetry, and more. With thisunprecedented breadth of coverage and
extensively cross-referenced, "The Encyclopedia of Native Music" is
an essential guide for enthusiasts and collectors. More than that,
it is a gateway to the authentic music of North America--music of
the people who have known this land from time immemorial and
continue to celebrate it in sound.
