Histories of music in the United States
Listening to Electric Miles
This project considers a case study from the archive of modern recorded jazz—Miles Davis’s Jack Johnson (1971)—as a means to address the collaborative aesthetic, technical, and social dimensions of record production. The release of The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions (2003) contains a number of alternate takes and “inserts” that were cut up and spliced together to create extended tracks on several albums by Davis released from 1971 to 1974.

Little Richard
Improvisation and Value in Rock, 1966
The mid-1960s has figured as a central period in the historiography of popular music, but the role of improvisation has been little discussed. This article argues that issues of improvisation and value are crucial to understanding the emergence of a high-low split within popular music, a division that figures prominently in criticism and fan discourse up to the present day. This new stratification within popular music made it possible for rock to…

Black or White? Michael Jackson and the Idea of Crossover
Michael Jackson has been referred to as a crossover artist for more than forty years, but what does this mean? The term "crossover" usually describes how an artist's appeal transcends an audience associated with one type of music to include another, with some reference often made to the role of musical and visual factors in this process. After a discussion of some of the assumptions frequently attached to the concept of crossover, I analyze sever…

Elvis Costello, the Empire of the E Chord, and a Magic Moment or Two
the phrase 'this magic moment' recurs throughout elvis costello's 'it's time' (1996). an allusion to pop history - the drifter's 'this magic moment' (1960) - is thus used in the service of a fatalistic narrative that manages to evoke both the 'revenge and guilt' famously associated with costello's early career and the early 1960's romanticism of brill building pop. the musical 'magic moment' of the song arrives in a ringing e major chord at the e…

Interpreting Popular Music
There is a well-developed vocabulary for discussing classical music, but when it comes to popular music, how do we analyze its effects and its meaning? David Brackett draws from the disciplines of cultural studies and music theory to demonstrate how listeners form opinions about popular songs, and how they come to attribute a rich variety of meanings to them. Exploring several genres of popular music through recordings made by Billie Holiday, Bin…
Concert Music, Rock, and Jazz since 1945
Concert Music, Rock, and Jazz since 1945: Essays and Analytical Studies. Edited by Elizabeth West Marvin and Richard Hermann. (Eastman Studies in Music.) Rochester, N.Y.: University of Rochester Press, 1995. [x, 449 p. ISBN 1-878822-42-X. $95.00.] And so, with that discussion of the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, we conclude our course in the analysis of music of the twentieth century. Presumably, this statement is now heard less often, but it is…

James Brown's ‘Superbad’ and the double-voiced utterance
JB was proof that black people were different. Rhythmically and tonally blacks had to be from somewhere else. Proof that Africa was really over there for those of us who had never seen it – it was in that voice. (Thulani Davis, quoted Guralnick 1986, pp. 242–3) If there is any black man who symbolizes the vast differences between black and white cultural and aesthetic values, Soul Brother No. 1 (along with Ray Charles) is that man. (David Leverin…
Some Notes on History and Geography Text-books used in Africa
This survey of text-books on history and geography, like those previously published on hygiene and agriculture and nature study text-books, has been prepared in accordance with the decision of the Executive Council of the Institute to compile lists of text-books in actual use in Africa in order to provide material which will be helpful in the preparation of new books and will also show what additional books are most needed. We had intended to con…
Supplementary Notes on Hygiene Books used in Africa
A Survey of hygiene books used in English-speaking areas in Africa appeared in Volume iii, No. 4 of this journal. At that time no other lists of this kind were being published, but information with regard to new literature both in European languages and in the vernacular is now published regularly in Books for Africa , the bulletin of the International Committee on Christian Literature for Africa, in Oversea Education , published with the approva…
Notes on Hygiene Books used in Africa
The Institute has always placed the question of the provision of suitable text-books both in the vernacular and in the language of the European power in the different territories in the forefront of its subjects of study as being one of the most urgent needs in Africa to-day. Numerous discussions and inquiries have shown that adequate instruction in hygiene and the inculcation of simple health rules is one of the most pressing needs, and that wor…
