Chicago Blues
ISBN: 9780306801457 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Chicago has always had a reputation as a "wide open town" with a high tolerance for gangsters, illegal liquor, and crooked politicians. It has also been the home for countless black musicians and the birthplace of a distinctly urban blues--more sophisticated, cynical, and street-smart than the anguished songs of the Mississippi delta--a music called the Chicago blues. This is the history of that music and the dozens of black artists who congregated on the South and Near West Sides. Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, Tampa Red, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Otis Rush,...

ISBN: 9780313300271 / Angielski / Twarda / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Marc Blitzstein was one of the 20th century's most important American composers, lyricists, and critics, often credited with having virtually invented opera in the American vernacular.

Blitzstein's brilliant career was cut short in 1964 when he died at the age of 58. This book catalogs Blitzstein's own...
