In the 20th century, jazz was an important artistic form. Depending
on the particular European country, jazz music carried different
social, political and aesthetic meanings. It brought challenges in
the areas of racial issues, the politics of the Cold War between
East and West, and in the exploration of boundaries of artistic
freedom. In socialist Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and
Poland, the situation began to change after 1956 and then 1968,
when the ideologists shifted from the aesthetics of socialist
realism to postmodernism. In Western countries such as France and
Italy, jazz transformed from a modern to a postmodern period. This
volume deals with the impact of these changes on the career
development of jazz musicians - even beyond 1989 - in terms of
various phenomena such as emigration, child prodigies,
multiculturalism, multi-genre approaches, or female jazz musicians.
On the History of Rock Music follows the development of rock music
from its origins up to the present time. It focuses on the
relationship between the sound, improvisations and rhythms in
particular styles, and gives specific attention to the development
of rhythm. The beat-offbeat principle, polyrhythms and polymetrics
are fundamental to rock rhythm patterns, which serve as archetypes
for specific rhythms. An archetype is a prototype, a model, or an
innate experience of a species. Using more than 250 score examples,
the author identifies the characteristic rhythmic patterns in rock
styles, ranging from rock and roll, hard rock and punk rock to
alternative rock, indie rock and grind core.
