- RENNAISSANCE & ELIZABETHAN MUSIC FOR BANJO
by Kyle Datesman photo - Book/CD set. While providing material for "classical banjo" enthusiasts who want to expand their playing, it also allows you to deal with what was perhaps the earliest type of music theory known - that of the modal scales. It gives you the chance to play in different keys, tempos and chords than you are used to. It teaches different types of form structures, and helps keep you from relying on the 5th string too much. Every piece is presented first in a vertical chordal arrangement, which was the way it was originally intended, and then arranged in a more linear horizontal style, using perpetual motion which is much more familiar to today's player. Great for finger limbering exercises. With glossary of terms. Tablature only. Intermediate. 100 pp.

- STOMP AND SWERVE: AMERICAN MUSIC GETS HOT, 1843 - 1924
by David Wondrich - Early decades of American popular music are the dark ages, until the mid-1920s when recordings became popular. This book brings a forgotten music, hot music, to life by describing how it became the dominant American music and became rock 'n' roll. In minstrelsy, ragtime, brass bands, early jazz and blues, fiddle music, and other forms, there was as much stomping and swerving as can be found in the most exciting performances of hot jazz, funk, and rock. It explains how the strange combination of African with Scotch and Irish influences made U.S. music vastly different from other African and Caribbean forms; shares terrific stories about minstrel shows, "coon" songs, whorehouses, knife fights, and other "low-life" phenomena; and showcases a motley collection of performers. 256 pp.
