Listen To This $19.39 In Listen to This Alex Ross will combine a selection of his New Yorker essays with new material that will serve as an introduction to some basic classical-music concepts and figures and will give an alternative view of recent pop music. It will demonstrate the essential equality of great musical creators in whatever genre. It begins with Listen To This his most famous New Yorker essay an autobiographical account of his early passion for classical music and belated discovery of pop music in college. It sets forth the themes of the book as a whole: how classical music can become a vital part of wider contemporary culture how it can survive and even prosper in the face of proclamations of its decline. There follows a new essay tracing the history of the chacona a dance form based on a descending bass line which originated as an erotic Afro-Caribbean dance in the sixteenth century then migrated to Europe and inspired such Baroque masterpieces as Bachs Chaconne in D minor and later found echoes in the bass lines both of twentieth-century classical masterpieces and African-American blues. Led Zeppelins Dazed and Confused and Bob Dylans Simple Twist of Fate among other songs extend the principle. This chapter develops in a less personal way the themes of Listen to This and serves as a kind of whirlwind tour of five centuries of music history. Third in the introductory section is The Record Effect an account of technologys impact on pop and classical music. |

Listen to This $12.49 In Listen to This, Alex Ross, the music critic for The New Yorker, looks both backward and forward in time, capturing essential figures and ideas in classical-music history as well as giving an alternative view of recent pop music that emphasizes the power of the individual musical voice in whatever genre. Alex Ross"s award-winning international bestseller, The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing him as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. In Listen To This Ross, the music critic for the New Yorker, looks both backwards and forwards in time, capturing essential figures and ideas in classical music history, as well as giving an alternative view of recent pop music that emphasizes the power of the individual musical voice. After relating his first encounter with classical music, Ross vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews wth modern pop masters such as Bjork and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and to indie-rock hipsters in Beijing. In his essay "Chacona, Lamento, Walking Blues", Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music history – from Renaissance dance to Led Zeppelin – through a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross writes in a style at once erudite and lively, showing how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. He explains how pop music can achieve the status of high art and how classical music can become a vital part of the wider contemporary culture. Witty, passionate and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us to listen more closely. |

Listen Of $14.38 PAUL BRYAN is the pseudonym Brazilian artist and musician S?RGIO SA used to produce an album of British and American influenced folk tunes. Sergio is a blind-born keyboard player with a long and successful musical career in Brazil as composer, producer and arranger. JAZZANOVA member JUERGEN VON KNOBLAUCH found the LP while record digging in Berlin 9 years ago. He played it to the rest of the (Sonar) collective and they all instantly fell for it. As the time goes by this record has been forgotten but it was without counting on JAZZANOVA who proudly re-release it on Sonar Kollektiv 35 years after it’s original release! And after all those years `Listen Of’ is still a beautiful and soothing record of ballads and romantic songs. And like JAZZANOVA you will in love with PAUL BRYAN ‘s `Listen Of’ instantly too. |

Listen $16.79 Though British trumpeter/bandleader Alan Bown gave his name to the group he put together, he’s far from the dominant musical force; there are long stretches where you might think the band had no trumpet at all. Nonetheless, he shaped the band’s sound and shepherded the group through shifts in style and personnel. They had already gone from beat-era mod pop to psych pop before turning toward a heavier, more progressive sound on their second album, Listen. They had also been through two different singers, and the second, Robert Palmer — later of Vinegar Joe and solo fame — had left Alan Bown in the lurch by leaving just before Listen’s release. Lacking the funds to start from scratch with Palmer’s replacement, Gordon Neville, the band had to simply re-record the vocals over the original instrumental tracks. Though Neville’s voice wasn’t as soulful or flexible as Palmer’s, he did a yeoman-like job of taking the reins. In fact, his rougher-edged sound suits the harder direction in which the band was headed on the album. Originally released in November of 1970, Listen is very much a product of its time; there’s a proto-prog feeling to the instrumental excursions (the album was produced by King Crimson saxophonist/future Alan Bown member Mel Collins), mixed with the kind of bluesy hard rock that was coming into favor via the likes of Led Zeppelin and Free. On some of the more adventurous tracks, the horn section — Bown and future Supertramp saxman John Anthony Helliwell — stretches out with a freewheeling approach influenced by the trailblazing progressive jazz exploits of Miles Davis et al. After Listen, Alan Bown (the band) would make only one more album before splitting, with Bown himself going on to a brief stint with prog rockers Jonesy. ~ J. Allen, Rovi |

Listen! $14.98 Gary Lewis was one of the very few American pop stars who was drafted and served in the military during the Vietnam War, and the slightly goofy but well-crafted pop/rock records that were his stock in trade were rapidly going out of style as Lewis entered the service in 1967. Listen!, recorded while Lewis was on leave, was intended to serve two purposes: to keep him in the public eye while he was overseas, and to update his sound and approach as psychedelia and heavy rock where becoming the dominant sounds in rock & roll. Listen! is a long way from psychedelia, but it’s significantly artier and more ambitious than “This Diamond Ring,” “She’s Just My Style,” or any of Lewis’ other hits; “Happiness” is largely cut from the same cloth, but the Phil Spector-esque production was clearly on the grand side for Lewis. Producer Gary Klein selected some excellent material for Lewis, including two Tim Hardin numbers (“Reason to Believe” and “Don’t Make Promises”), John Sebastian’s “Six O’Clock,” and three tunes by Alan Gordon and Garry Bonner of the Magicians (one of which, “She’d Rather Be with Me,” was recorded around the same time by the Turtles and became a hit). Jack Nitzsche arranged the sessions (with session musicians taking the place of the Playboys), and he transforms these songs into stylish pop that’s sophisticated, engaging, and more forward-thinking than anyone might have expected from a Gary Lewis album. And while no one ever described Lewis as one of the great singers of his generation, Klein and Nitzsche clearly worked with him on Listen!, and he sounds sure and confident on this album; the material doesn’t stretch his range, but the where he often sounded clumsy on his hits, he approaches this material with aplomb. Listen! is something less than a lost classic, but for a guy who was never considered to be an artist of lasting importance, it shows that given the right material and careful nurturing, he had it in him to make a worthwhile album. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
