Banding Together: How Communities Create Genres in Popular Music
by Jennifer Lena
Release Date - Feb 5, 2012
From Amazon - "Why do some music styles gain mass popularity while others thrive in small niches? Banding Together explores this question and reveals the attributes that together explain the growth of twentieth-century American popular music. Drawing on a vast array of examples from sixty musical styles--ranging from rap and bluegrass to death metal and South Texas polka, and including several created outside the United States--Jennifer Lena uncovers the shared grammar that allows us to understand the cultural language and evolution of popular music. What are the common economic, organizational, ideological, and aesthetic traits among contemporary genres? Do genres follow patterns in their development? Lena discovers four dominant forms--Avant-garde, Scene-based, Industry-based, and Traditionalist--and two dominant trajectories that describe how American pop music genres develop."

Celebrating Max Morath, an American Treasure

Pianist, entertainer, and music historian Max Morath has compiled a lifetime of achievement interpreting and documenting American popular music. His definitive renditions of Scott Joplin's piano rags are orchestral and elegant. His guide to the songs of Tin Pan Alley and other American standards is a well-known reference. His biographical novel about Carrie Jacobs-Bond, the first woman of American music publishing, tells a little-known story that still resonates today. Kudos, Max, job well done!

	The NPR Curious Listener's Guide to Popular Standards. Every major singer from Frank Sinatra to Christina Aguilera * Every major composer from Irving Berlin to Stephen Sondheim * Every major song from a century of favorites
	I Love You Truly: A Biographical Novel Based on the Life of Carrie Jacobs-Bond A delightful romp through the America of Calvin Coolidge and wax cylinders. Carrie Jacobs-Bond beat Tin Pan Alley at its own game, but lost a son along the way. As Max told AIM, "her struggles with tragedy and pain, combined with her remarkable musical gifts, reveal her as a truly iconic woman of her times. (The novel) grew out of my 1996 Masters thesis at Columbia on CJB -- mainly about her music and her publishing business, which led me into a fascination with the storied life she led." AIM treasures its autographed copy.
