Hardback. Condizione: Good. In the twentieth century, African Americans not only helped make popular music the soundtrack of the American experience, they advanced American music as one of the preeminent shapers of the world's popular culture. Vast numbers of black American musicians deserve credit for this remarkable turn of events, but a few stand out as true giants. David Stricklin's superb new biography explores the life of one of them, Louis Armstrong. The life story of this great instrumentalist, bandleader, and entertainer illustrates much of the black entertainer's impact on American culture and illuminates how popular culture often intersects with politics and economics. Armstrong emerged from a precarious background and triumphed over almost impossible odds, becoming a transcendent public figure and an international icon. Mr. Stricklin concentrates on Armstrong's musical talent, something many observers called a thing of genius. But he also pays special attention to Armstrong's identity a black man in America and the ways in which he triumphed over the mistreatment and disrespect dealt countless people like him. The creativity and exuberance he shared with the world came from his unique vantage as an artist and as an African American with a striking and lively spirit of freedom. He might have been able to demonstrate that determination in any line of work, but his story has special urgency because he expressed his creative power through music. With 16 black-and-white photographs.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Brother Al Stricklin Now: Memories of a Texas Playboy depicts both high points and struggles in the life of Al Stricklin, one of the most popular members of one of the most important bands in U.S. musical history, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. It describes the development of Als musical talent and skill, the odd series of coincidences that got him the attention of Bob Wills, and how they worked together to help develop the style of music known as western swing, which the Texas Legislature designated the "State Music of Texas" in 2011. The memories related in the book come from unpublished interviews conducted with Al in the 1970s and 80s, interviews with other members of the Texas Playboys, and stories from Al's family. The book provides a firsthand account of the enduring popularity of western swing and Bob Wills, including many stories that capture the infectious personality of Wills's favorite piano player. Brother Al Stricklin Now depicts something very important to people: the joy they got--and still get--from the music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, the blending of musical styles that led to its creation, and the ways it shaped much of the cultural landscape of Texas and the Southwest. The book also describes how the experience of playing with Wills and the Playboys helped Al overcome a series of heartbreaking disappointments and become a beloved figure to music fans far and wide.
