Sun Ra: Art on Saturn is the first comprehensive collection of all Saturn printed covers, along with hundreds of the best hand-designed, one-of-a-kind sleeves and disc labels, decorated by Ra himself and members of his Arkestra.

Ted Gioia's The History of Jazz has been universally hailed as the most comprehensive and accessible history of the genre of all time. Acclaimed by jazz critics and fans alike, this magnificent work is now available in an up-to-date third edition that covers the latest developments in the jazz world and revisits virtually every aspect of the music. Gioia's story of jazz brilliantly portrays the most legendary jazz players, the breakthrough styles, and the scenes in which they evolved. From Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, Miles Davis's legendary 1955 performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, and Ornette Coleman's experiments with atonality to current innovators such as Kamasi Washington and Esperanza Spalding, Gioia takes readers on a sweeping journey through the history of jazz. As he traces the music through the swamp lands of the Mississippi Delta, the red light district of New Orleans, the rent parties of Harlem, the speakeasies of Chicago, and other key locales of jazz history, Gioia also makes the social contexts in which the music was born come alive.

Une société en révolte contre la domination anglo-canadienne. Le Quatuor de jazz libre, le premier groupe de free jazz au Québec, embrasse un parcours révolutionnaire qui aboutit à la descente de l’armée canadienne dans les rues de Montréal. Sur leurs talons, une nouvelle génération d’avant-gardistes qui rejette le militantisme politique, mais qui veut aller plus loin sur le plan artistique, s’émancipant du jazz pour créer un nouveau langage d’improvisation. Organisés autour de leur Atelier de musique expérimentale (AME), ces jeunes innovateurs aspirent à une liberté totale de création et à une transformation de la place de la musique dans la société. Mais le moment n’est pas propice. Rejeté par un mouvement souverainiste qui valorise la chanson et les arts du langage, peinant dans la précarité financière, l’AME s’effondre finalement en 1975, la même année que Jazz libre. Voici l’histoire liée des deux groupes dans le contexte social de l’époque, racontée non par un observateur détaché, mais par onze musiciens qui étaient au cœur même de cette quête. Voici onze vies remarquables qui ont, par leur audace, ouvert la voie au Québec au vaste mouvement de musique expérimentale connu aujourd’hui sous le nom de musique actuelle. Mon pays, c’est la musique est un ouvrage inédit d’histoire orale, qui offre un éclairage original sur une période charnière de l’histoire culturelle et sociale du Québec. Basé sur des entretiens enregistrés par John Gilmore, il se déroule comme une conversation entre les musiciens, révélant leurs parcours personnels, l’explosion créative des années 1967 à 1975, et ce qu’ils sont devenus par la suite. Parmi les musiciens qui prennent la parole, on trouve Guy Thouin, batteur-fondateur du Quatuor de jazz libre; Tristan Honsinger, insoumis étasunien qui trouve sa voix musicale à Montréal avant de se lancer sur la scène internationale; les artistes Raymond Gervais et Yves Bouliane; et le compositeur de musique de film Robert Marcel Lepage. L’auteur laisse les musiciens s’exprimer librement dans leur langue maternelle, huit en français, trois en anglais. Les récits se déroulent comme les conversations le font souvent au Québec, en embrassant les deux langues de façon ludique. Le livre comprend aussi (en français) : le manifeste de l’AME ; une courte histoire de l’AME par l’historien Eric Fillion ; \u0026amp; des notes de bas de page au bénéfice des lecteurs qui ne connaîtraient pas les personnes ou les événement mentionnés. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 9780986786631\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"ProductDescriptionSection_specList__65b_z\"\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50917722292356,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/D9C584B4-A13D-4B65-A3BA-D756DB008D1F.jpg?v=1765483241"},{"product_id":"swinging-in-paradise-the-story-of-jazz-in-montreal-first-edition","title":"Swinging in Paradise: The Story of Jazz in Montreal, First Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor almost half a century, more jazz was made in Montreal than anywhere else in Canada. Swinging in Paradise tells the story of jazz and nightlife in Montreal – from the arrival of the first black musicians from the United States; through the heady days of swing, show biz, big bands, and bebop; to the tumultuous 1960s and Montreal’s unique experiments in free jazz and fusion. This is more than music history; it's a rich social history of Montreal after dark. John Gilmore spent 7 years tracking down veterans of Montreal’s jazz community and weaving their memories into this fascinating history. He reveals why musicians from all over North America migrated to Montreal, and how they lived, worked, and created in the midst of organized crime, corruption, union battles, racism, and a nightclub industry hungry for music. “A hallelujah of a book” says Books in Canada.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-0986786600\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50917724225668,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/0-3_d7e76777-5ec8-44ce-a992-00b6e8b2e016.jpg?v=1763667679"},{"product_id":"soundtrack-to-the-revolution-free-jazz-and-leftist-nationalism-in-quebec-1967-1975","title":"Soundtrack to the Revolution: Free Jazz and Leftist Nationalism in Quebec 1967-1975","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book_author\"\u003eby Eric Fillion\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book_translator\"\u003eTranslated by David Homel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book_translator\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book_translator\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I am a revolutionary first, a musician second.

Their many initiatives (concert forums aimed at students and workers, a self-governing arts summer camp in Val-David, north of Montreal, a socialist commune in the Eastern Townships as well as an experimental cultural centre in Old Montreal) were all oriented toward the convergence of protest movements shaking Quebec.

The novelist, most famous for his 1957 bookOn the Road, admired the sounds of bebop and attempted to bring something of their original energy to his own writing, a torrent of semi-autobiographical stories he published between 1950 and his early death in 1969. Yet he was also drawn to American popular music of all kinds - from the blues to Broadway ballads - and when he came to record albums under his own name, he married his unique spoken word style with some of the most talented musicians on the scene. Kerouac's musical legacy goes well beyond the studio recordings he made himself: his influence infused generations of music makers who followed in his work - from singer-songwriters to rock bands. Some of the greatest transatlantic names - Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison and David Bowie, Janis Joplin and Tom Waits, Sonic Youth and Death Cab for Cutie, and many more - credited Kerouac's impact on their output. InKerouac on Record, we consider how the writer brought his passion for jazz to his prose and poetry, his own record releases, the ways his legacy has been sustained by numerous more recent talents, those rock tributes that have kept his memory alive and some of the scores that have featured in Hollywood adaptations of the adventures he brought to the printed page.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-1501360787\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50924331696260,"sku":null,"price":37.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/61ap51pFJ0L._SY600.jpg?v=1753643769"},{"product_id":"shine-bright-a-very-personal-history-of-black-women-in-pop","title":"Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlightly damaged.

Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career-from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae-and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec publisher-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eDuke University Press\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9\" H x 6\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9781478030706\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50932255752324,"sku":null,"price":38.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/m.php.jpg?v=1753820400"},{"product_id":"two-headed-doctor-listening-for-ghosts-in-dr-johns-gris-gris","title":"Two-headed Doctor: Listening For Ghosts In Dr. Johns Gris-gris","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/david-toop\/\" class=\"contributor__link\"\u003eDavid Toop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more\" data-action=\"read-more\" data-overviewlongdescription=\"null\" data-aboutthebook=\"true\" id=\"product-description-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper's \u003ci\u003eGris-gris.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwo-Headed Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper's \u003ci\u003eGris-gris\u003c\/i\u003e.

It formed the launch pad for Dr. John's image and lengthy career and the ghostly presence of its so-called voodoo atmosphere hovers over numerous cover versions, samples, and re-invocations. Despite the respect given to the record, its making is shrouded in mystery, misunderstandings, and false conclusions. The persona of Dr. John, loosely based on dubious literary accounts of a notorious voodooist and freed slave, a nineteenth-century New Orleans resident known as Doctor John, provided Malcolm \"Mac\" Rebennack with a lifelong mask through which to transform himself from session musician in order to construct a solo career.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSomewhere between puzzle, experimental rhythm, blues disguised as rock, and elaborate hoax, \u003ci\u003eGris-gris\u003c\/i\u003e was a collaborative project between Rebennack and producer\/arranger Harold Battiste (at the time musical director for Sonny \u0026amp; Cher). A few brief sessions held at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles brought together many of New Orleans' finest musicians, including Shirley Goodman, John Boudreaux, Plas Johnson, Jessie Hill, Ernest McLean, and Tami Lynn. Along with their complex histories, the cast of characters implicated in the story includes Ornette Coleman, Lafcadio Hearn, Zora Neale Hurston, Cher, Sonny Bono, Sam Cooke, Ishmael Reed, Black Herman, Prince La La, and many others.

She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like \"I Loves You, Porgy,\" \"My Baby Just Cares for Me,\" \"I Put a Spell on You,\" and \"Mississippi Goddam\" have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song \"Young, Gifted, and Black\" became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone's are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide.

Still active today, Rollins and his compelling sound reach a whole new generation of listeners with his eagerly anticipated live appearances. Now renowned jazz writer Eric Nisenson provides a long-overdue look at one of jazz's brightest, and most enduring, stars.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec publisher-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eGrand Central Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9\" H x 6\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9780306809880\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50940304326788,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/Unknown-11.jpg?v=1753989034"},{"product_id":"of-stars-and-strings-a-biography-of-sonny-greenwich","title":"Of Stars And Strings: A Biography Of Sonny Greenwich","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Mark Miller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more\" data-action=\"read-more\" data-overviewlongdescription=\"null\" data-aboutthebook=\"true\" id=\"product-description-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I'm not a working musician,\" the legendary Canadian jazz guitarist Sonny Greenwich once declared. \"When I decide to play, I play to awake people spiritually.

Paul Youngquist explores and assesses Sun Ra's wide-ranging creative output-music, public preaching, graphic design, film and stage performance, and poetry-and connects his diverse undertakings to the culture and politics of his times, including the space race, the rise of technocracy, the civil rights movement, and even space-age bachelor-pad music. By thoroughly examining the astro-black mythology that Sun Ra espoused, Youngquist masterfully demonstrates that he offered both a holistic response to a planet desperately in need of new visions and vibrations and a new kind of political activism that used popular culture to advance social change. In a nation obsessed with space and confused about race, Sun Ra aimed not just at assimilation for the socially disfranchised but even more at a wholesale transformation of American society and a more creative, egalitarian world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eUniversity Of Texas Press\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9\" H x 6\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9781477327289\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50940496674948,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/Unknown-16.jpg?v=1753991411"},{"product_id":"raise-up-off-me-a-portrait-of-hampton-hawes","title":"Raise Up Off Me: A Portrait of Hampton Hawes","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthors: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"170\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Hampton-Hawes\/e\/B001K8PBRS\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eHampton Hawes\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"130\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Don-Asher\/e\/B0027NQIN6\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_2\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eDon Asher\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"173\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_3?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=Gary+Giddins\u0026amp;text=Gary+Giddins\u0026amp;sort=relevancerank\u0026amp;search-alias=books-ca\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eGary Giddins\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Introduction)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHampton Hawes [1928–1977] was one of jazz's greatest pianists.

At the time of his celebration as New Star of the Year by downbeat magazine (1956), Hawes was already struggling with a heroin addiction that would lead to his arrest and imprisonment, and the interruption of a brilliant career. In 1963 President John F. Kennedy granted Hawes an Executive Pardon. In eloquent and humorous language Hampton Hawes tells of a life of suffering and redemption that reads like an improbable novel.

With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is the birthright of every American and demonstrates how a real understanding of the central idea of jazz–the unique balance between self-expression and sacrifice for the common good exemplified on the bandstand–can enrich every aspect of our lives, from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to City Hall. Along the way, Marsalis helps us understand the life-changing message of the blues, reveals secrets about playing–and listening–and passes on wisdom he has gleaned from working with three generations of great musicians.
