Hachette Books Becoming Jimi Hendrix
Book SynopsisBecoming Jimi Hendrix tracesJimmy''s&rdquo early musical roots, from a harrowing, hand-to-mouth upbringing in a poverty-stricken, broken Seattle home to his early discovery of the blues to his stint as a reluctant recruit of the 101st Airborne who was magnetically drawn to the rhythm and blues scene in Nashville. As a sideman, Hendrix played with the likes of Little Richard, Ike and Tina Turner, the Isley Brothers, and Sam & Dave- but none knew what to make of his spotlight-stealing rock guitar experimentation, the likes of which had never been heard before. From 1962 to 1966, on the rough and tumble club circuit, Hendrix learned to please a crowd, deal with racism, and navigate shady music industry characters, all while evolving his own astonishing style. Finally, in New York''s Greenwich Village, two key women helped him survive, and his discovery in a tiny basement club in 1966 led to Hendrix instantly being heralded as a major act in Europe before he returned to America, appearTrade ReviewNew York Times Book Review, 10/17/10 "Hendrix's career as a superstar has been well chronicled; the more interesting details of how he became one are told here...[Becoming Jimi Hendrix] makes a case for the preparation that every originator should go through: follow your passion obsessively, so that when you encounter the person or thing that will change your life, you'll be ready." Steve Coates, New York Times, 10/15/10 "It's a fascinating book for the story it tells, but I would pay the cover price just for its amazing photographs." Rolling Stone, 8/19/10 3 1/2 out of 4 stars "Most important, the book shows how Greenwich Village was crucial to Hendrix's 1966 breakthrough: With Harlem unable to hold him, MacDougal Street provides the launching pad for Hendrix's psychedelic genius." Classic Rock (UK), September 2010"[A] unique and fascinating book...The most thorough account yet seen of the years during which a shy, spacey, chronically untogether young guitarist learned his craft...Tells us more, and more deeply, than any previous volume about exactly what went into his Becoming Jimi Hendrix." (9 out of 10 stars) Booklist, 9/15/10"An insightful look at an iconic star." L.A. Weekly, 9/23"A crucial rock bio." Chicago Sun-Times, 9/19"Steven Roby and Brad Schreiber's assiduously reported work illuminates the evolution of Hendrix from self-taught amateur to the guitar paragon whose stylings remain a rock hallmark... [They] seem to have tracked down almost everybody who crossed paths with Hendrix... [and] are to be thanked for a comprehensive bibliography, recommended listening, a sessionography including discography and TV appearances, and a chronology of 1961-1966 tours and events." Wolfgang's Vault, Ben Fong-Torres "A well-researched book loaded with great stories." Mojo, November 2010"One of the most intelligent and revealing biographies of an unsurpassable giant." San Francisco Chronicle, 10/04/10 "A compelling account of an artist whose idiosyncrasies earned him both respect and scorn in the black music establishment and eternal superstardom in the rock arena...Roby and Schreiber provide an insightful account of an artist who perceived his craft differently from any guitarist before or since, and who finally aligned the rock world with that perception, but never fully reaped the rewards of his efforts." JimPress, September 2010 "If you read only one new Hendrix book this year, make it this one...You will still be drawn in and fascinated to hear how Jimi became the showman and musician that he did." Internet Review of Books, 10/29/10"A must read for hard-core Hendrix fans." Popmatters.com, 11/11/10"The first major fleshing out of the formative period during which Hendrix discovered not only who he was, but who he wasn't...Roby and Schreiber document a remarkably busy and pivotal stretch in Hendrix's career and life. Their digging through files, interviews and news clippings puts meat on the bones of his pre-fame chronology." TheRoot.com, 11/4/10 "For a reader's first exploration into Hendrix's early years, Steven Roby and Brad Schreiber's well-researched book provides a solid start... What this book does well is bring a legend down to earth, if only so that readers can, 40 years after his untimely passing, better understand from whence he came." Houston Press ("Get Lit" blog), 11/22/10"The authors contribute plenty of valuable and insightful stories about the music, moods, and outlook of perhaps rock's most inventive guitarist." Waterbury Sunday Republican, 12/5/10 "A worthy addition to the growing shelf of books on the man who redefined the role of electric guitar in rock music." Curled Up with a Good Book, 12/21/10 "For hardcore Hendrix fans, it's worth reading." Blues Revue, February 2011"Stories about the chitlin' circuit experiences, about losing head cutting contests in Nashville to Johnny Jones, about not getting paid, and of course, about the young women who helped the sometimes-homeless Jimi to survive make this book come alive. The 25 black-and-white photographs offered here are fantastic and most of them never seen before...A very enjoyable book." Midwest Book Review, January 2011 "A key acquisition of any rock music history holding." Examiner.com, 2/9/11 "Well-written and chock full of the kind of new information and original interviews that make it a joy (and even a relief, given the regurgitated nature of so many recent books on Hendrix) to a Jimi-obsessive." LosingToday.com, 5/22/11 "Well researched and well written, and the authors do a tremendous job of bringing both the subject and the era back to life for a whole new generation. Highly recommended."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Designing Eurovision
Book SynopsisDesigning Eurovision is the first book-length study of the visual and design elements of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC).As a unique visual phenomenon and commonly associated with spectacle performances, the scenography of Eurovision is in reality far more nuanced and layered, balancing acts of national identity-building with host country branding, visual tourism and cross-cultural aesthetics. The event demonstrates how ideological spaces are built across Europe and the wider world, highlighting the function of performance scenography in socio-political nation-building. Although the importance of the visual elements of Eurovision are widely acknowledged, this is the first volume to put ESC design front and centre, discussing the critical and practical aspects of creating performance scenography for this international stage. In addition, the volume highlights the significance of Eurovision in the development of performance technologies, frequently functioning as a test-bed for technological innovations in stage design for broadcast arena events. It also explores the visual design-led elements of the contest (set, costume, lighting and projection) and addresses the broader spatial dynamics of the ESC, exploring the socio-political elements of Eurovision performance space. The fluid relationship between the ESC as live performance and as Europeâs largest televised cultural event opens up additional discussions in the book related to the role of liveness in scenographic practice.This volume brings a unique focus on the materiality of the Eurovision stage, addressing multipronged topics including the history of ESC technologies, ESC scenography and national identity, ESC aesthetics and design, and the ESC host city as stage. It also incorporates interviews with practitioners who have worked on design elements for the ESC, giving practical perspectives on design at the contest. It will be of interest to researchers and scholars of theatre and performance, scenography, the Eurovision Song Contest, popular performance, and media and cultural studies, among others.
