Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020
This second volume of Music in Black American Life offers research
and analysis that originally appeared in the journals American
Music and Black Music Research Journal , and in two
book series published by the University of Illinois Press: Music in
American Life, and African American Music in Global Perspective. In
this collection, a group of predominately Black scholars explores a
variety of topics with works that pioneered new methodologies and
modes of inquiry for hearing and studying Black music. These
extracts and articles examine the World War II jazz scene; look at
female artists like gospel star Shirley Caesar and jazz
musician-arranger Melba Liston; illuminate the South Bronx milieu
that folded many forms of black expressive culture into rap; and
explain Hamilton 's massive success as part of the
\"tanning\" of American culture that began when Black music entered
the mainstream.
Part sourcebook and part survey of historic music scholarship,
Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020 collects
groundbreaking work that redefines our view of Black music and its
place in American music history.

Blues All Day Long
A member of Muddy Waters' legendary late 1940s-1950s band, Jimmy Rogers pioneered a blues guitar style that made him one of the most revered sidemen of all time. Rogers also had a significant if star-crossed career as a singer and solo artist for Chess Records, releasing the classic singles \"That's All Right\" and \"Walking By Myself\" before a break with the label and changing public tastes drove him into a period of semi-retirement. In Blues All Day Long , Wayne Everett Goins mines seventy-five hours of interviews with Rogers' family, collaborators, and peers to follow a life spent playing the blues. Goins' account takes Rogers from a childhood learning harmonica alongside future virtuoso Snooky Pryor to rich descriptions of playing Chicago clubs, from recording sessions at Chess to the everyday struggle to find the next show and the right groove. Goins' work concludes with the little-known story of a late-in-life renaissance that included new music, entry into the Blues Hall of Fame, and high-profile tours with Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. Informed and definitive, Blues All Day Long fills a gap in twentieth century music history with the story of an eminent blues musician and one of the genre's seminal bands.
