The Compassion of Jazz: My Incredible Life in Music & the Movement

Editura: REGENT PR

Anul aparitiei: 2020

The Compassion of Jazz chronicles the career of Jim Cassell, a native Californian born in la Jolla, as he navigates his way from student to sailor to hippie to political activist with the United Farm Workers in their unionizing efforts in the 1970s. And from there, based on his lifelong love of music instilled in him by his mother, into a career as a promoter and manager for major jazz, latin jazz, and blues performers including Tito Puente, Poncho Sanchez, Sergio Mendes, Dizzy Gillespie, James Cotton, and others. The Compassion of Jazz provides behind the scenes observations and insights into the nature of the music business by a participant who found himself in the midst of it all propelled there almost accidentally by his good luck aided by his good work.

Mary Grant Bruce (24 May 1878 - 2 July 1958), also known as Minnie Bruce, was an Australian children's author and journalist. While all her thirty-seven books enjoyed popular success in Australia and overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, she was most famous for the Billabong series, focussing on the adventures of the Linton family on Billabong Station in Victoria and in England and Ireland during World War I.Her writing was considered influential in forming concepts of Australian national identity, especially in relation to visions of the Bush. It was characterised by fierce patriotism, vivid descriptions of the beauties and dangers of the Australian landscape, and humorous, colloquial dialogue celebrating the art of yarning. Her books were also notable and influential through championing of what Bruce held up as the quintessentially Australian Bush values of independence, hard physical labour (for women and children as well as men), mateship, the ANZAC spirit and Bush hospitality against more decadent, self-centred or stolid urban and British values. Her books simultaneously celebrated and mourned the gradual settlement, clearing and development of the Australian ...

He and his wife, Viennese Jews, had found escape routes for their daughters. But now their money, connections, and emotional energy were nearly exhausted. Alfred begged the American recipient of the letter, "You are surely informed about the situation of all Jews in Central Europe.... By pure chance I got your address.... My daughter and her husband will go... to America.... Help us to follow our children.... It is our last and only hope...." After languishing in a California attic for decades, Alfred's letter ended up in the hands of Faris Cassell, a journalist who couldn't rest until she discovered the ending of the story. Traveling across the United States as well as to Austria, the Czech Republic, Belarus, and Israel, she uncovered an extraordinary story of heart-wrenching loss and unforgettable love that endures to this day.

The Many Deaths of Edgar Allan Poe

Editura: LULU PR

Anul aparitiei: 2020

The Many Deaths Of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe's death remains a mystery even today. There are many theories as to what killed him. Some people believe Poe's death was caused by suicide, some believe murder, others consider cholera to be the leading factor, or hypoglycaemia, rabies, syphilis and even influenza. Whatever happened to him, Poe was found in a delirious state and wearing clothes believed to be belonging to someone else. In the days before his death, he was heard to be calling out for Reynolds, a man to which no one knew of Poe's connection. This book does not tell you the truth in what happened to Poe. That will remain, forever, a mystery. What this book does is bring together some of the biggest names in horror - from the mind behind the horror anthologies Masters Of Horror and NEXT DOOR - to tell THEIR version of what happened to Poe in his final moments. Expect gore, expect black humour, expect sex, expect violence, double-crossing and murder most foul... Expect pure fiction as we let our imaginations run riot.
