Robert Mcparland: American Melodies, Gebunden

Klappentext

Robert McParland explores American music as a bridge between art, audiences, and the environment.

American Melodies is a study of America's varied music genres that is grounded in interviews with folk, rock, and jazz musicians, music listeners, songwriters, and organizers of music programs in local communities. The author explores artists' ecological, social, and technological concerns and the ways that music as an art form can reflect upon and actively reshape lived realities. Through interviews and conversations, he examines how the spirit of jazz, folk music and Americana, country, and rock music brings to life relationships between people, connection with their communities, and expression of social and ecological concern.
