What if you bought a 1968 Volkswagen microbus from a stranger, and when you started to clean it out you found an old notebook? And what if that notebook was actually the scrapbook of a Deadhead-telling the incredible story of one young man’s groovy experiences traveling the country with his favorite band, collecting great friends and memorabilia along the way? Well, if you did, that scrapbook might look something like this. “Discovered” wedged beneath the back seat of a 1968 Volkswagen van, this brilliant scrapbook-filled with real-life memorabilia-celebrates the glory days of the Grateful Dead and the remarkable subculture that sprang up around the band’s main appearances around the country. Deadhead Forever includes three decades worth of Dead lore and stories, plus more than 100 pictures, concert tickets, and other evocative souvenirs “pasted” onto the pages via drop-shadow photography.

Eric Dolphy: A Musical Biography And Discography (Paperback)

List Price: $13.00
Our Price: $7.80 for 25 - 99 copies

In his tragically short life (1928–1964), Eric Dolphy was a titanic force in the development of the sixties avant-garde (or "new thing") from the hard bop of the late fifties. The searing intensity and sonic exploration of his work on alto sax, clarinets, and flute derived in part from the concurrent innovations of Coltrane, Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and Andrew Hill, among others; previous jazz styles such as New Orleans and bop; various non-Western musics; and modern classical music (e.g., Varese). Dolphy pioneered extended solo jazz compositions, was prominent in the "third stream" movement (led by John Lewis and Gunther Schuller), and remains a major influence on musicians today for the personal, speech-like inflections of his playing. Jazz scholars Simosko and Tepperman examine every aspect of this stunning musical achievement from Dolphy's early big band work and association with Chico Hamilton to his own last groups in Europe, emphasizing the rich legacy of his recordings. Now completely updated to include the most recent discoveries concerning his life and recordings, this book will long stand as the definitive treatment of Eric Dolphy's music.
