Random House USA Inc Playing Changes
Book SynopsisOne of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, GQ, Billboard, JazzTimesIn jazz parlance, “playing changes” refers to an improviser’s resourceful path through a chord progression. In this definitive guide to the jazz of our time, leading critic Nate Chinen boldly expands on that idea, taking us through the key changes, concepts, events, and people that have shaped jazz since the turn of the century—from Wayne Shorter and Henry Threadgill to Kamasi Washington and Esperanza Spalding; from the phrase “America’s classical music” to an explosion of new ideas and approaches; from claims of jazz’s demise to the living, breathing scene that exerts influence on mass culture, hip-hop, and R&B. Grounded in authority and brimming with style, packed with essential album lists and listening recommendations, Playing Changes takes the measure of this exhilarating moment—and the shimmering possibilities to come.

Palgrave MacMillan Us Philosophy and HipHop Ruminations on Postmodern Cultural Form
Book SynopsisPhilosophy and Hip-Hop: Ruminations on Postmodern Cultural Form opens up the philosophical life force that informs the construction of Hip-hop by turning the gaze of the philosopher upon those blind spots that exist within existing scholarship.Trade ReviewRecommendations for Philosophy as Hip Hop: Ruminations on a Post Modern Cultural Form. By Tommy J. Curry, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Affiliate Professor, Program in Africana Studies, Texas A&M University Report: Overall, this version of the book is much better than the initial manuscript reviewed. Philosophy as Hip Hop embarks on a journey to show that Hip-Hop is an aesthetic engagement with the world that gives individuals various philosophical techniques to engage the obstacles and phenomenon before them. In the prologue, Bailey argues 'From an individual perspective Hip-Hop creates a space of relative freedom: freedom from the weight of a modern life that is demanding and exhausting. The importance of noting the relative in this statement cannot be overlooked. Hip-Hop is not a space of utopia, but a community that reconciles and embraces those who need an abode for their own intimate desires.' Unlike the previous version, this book is clearer in its purpose, and writing. This is a strength of this version of the text over the last, unfortunately however, the manuscript as a whole suffers from a sort of bipolarity at times reading as a summation of traditional white philosophical canons rather than a serious scholarly engagement with Hip-Hop. Bailey engages in a philosophical exploration of Hip-Hop aiming to show that Hip-Hop is in fact philosophical. This manuscript covers some of the same ground articulated in Hip Hop and Philosophy: Rhyme to Reason by Tommie Shelby and Derrick Darby. Bailey's text will further articulate such claims in a full monograph and most likely be the first or most recent text to do so in the discipline of philosophy. However, it must be noted that such projects have a long legacy in cultural studies and Black studies. Greg Thomas's Hip-Hop Revolution in the Flesh: Power, Knowledge, and Pleasure in Lil' Kim's Lyricism (2009), and Jared Ball's I Mix What I Like: A Mixtape Manifesto (2011) immediately come to mind, as they have been reviewed extensively, but I cannot find any engagement with these texts in Bailey's work. While Bailey has done some work in section two to introduce and cover the work of Ebony Utley's On Rap and Religion some of the more recent works like those mentioned above are still absent from consideration. As such, I would recommend this work for publication with some revisions. My specific section comments are attached, but I would like to make several general comments. I. This work will certainly find readership in philosophy. Unlike fields like media studies, Black studies, etc. philosophy has been the last on board to seriously investigate the work of Black artists as serious political and social commentary. The last major work on Hip-Hop in philosophy was Derrick Darby and Tommie Shelby's Hip Hop and Philosophy from 2005. 2. The success of this book will largely depend on who it is marketed towards. Bailey makes some interesting points and insights that could in fact convey to classical continental and American philosophers the importance of studying and understanding Hip Hop both pedagogically and as a post-modern aesthetic. However, it is important to understand the limitations of such a strategy in field like Black studies, cultural studies, or more radical art audiences. 3. The work seems to have two distinct tones from section one to section two. The transition between sections as well as between ideas within and between chapters needs attention. 4. This work seems to be more appropriately divided into Section 1: Existential Communalism/Pedagogy and then Section 2: Post Modern Cultural Art Form. As stated I am not clear about the purpose of distinction in the titles. 5. Bailey does make a worthwhile contribution to Hip Hop Studies in the discipline of philosophy, so it is a publishable manuscript in that regard. However, Bailey should be pushed to account for the scholarship and work done in other fields as well to make this book stand the test of time. Imani Perry's Prophets of the Hood have lots of overlap with his themes throughout but are not mentioned once in my reading. There needs to be more of a deliberate engagement with the literature of the field.Table of ContentsIntroduction1. Of the Beauty and Wisdom of Hip-Hop 2.

Palgrave MacMillan Us The Cultural Impact of Kanye West
Book SynopsisThrough rap and hip hop, entertainers have provided a voice questioning and challenging the sanctioned view of society. Examining the moral and social implications of Kanye West's art in the context of Western civilization's preconceived ideas, the contributors consider how West both challenges religious and moral norms and propagates them.Trade Review"Provocateur, egotist, sage, and artist, no figure in the past decade of popular culture has reflected and defined the zeitgeist better than Kanye West. This collection lays bare the tangle of complexities and contradictions that have made the artist and the art indispensable to our era and proves that if game recognizes game, wisdom does too." - Jelani Cobb, author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress "If Julius Bailey was a song, he would be that surprise banger DJ Red Alert drops around one in the morning as the party is at its peak. He is humbly one part scholar and two parts philosopher, yet all hip-hop. Respected for his integrity as a cultural critic and archivist, it's no surprise that, like a master beat maker finding the perfect sample, he was ahead of the curve when he proposed to explore the cultural impact of Kanye West . . . but right on time." - Toni Blackman, US Hip Hop Ambassador "The Cultural Impact of Kanye West is a much-needed addition in today's diluted hip-hop cultural criticism. By deeming West, his chameleon persona, and iconic brand worthy of scholarly examination, this book takes us on a philosophical odyssey like no other in the modern academy."
