Publisher Comments:AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC: A MULTICULTURAL HISTORY provides a sweeping broad-based survey that also tells the story of American popular music from African American, European American, Latino, Asian, and Native American perspectives. With detailed, easy-to-understand explanations of key musical concepts and terms, this text integrates a critical listening approach using "CD Listening exercises" that work in conjunction with the available CD set. It also enables students to compare and contrast the musical, cultural, and societal elements covered, so they easily comprehend the important styles and influential artists that have contributed to the development of American popular music. Book News Annotation:Appell (jazz studies, Diablo Valley College) and Hemphill (graduate
studies, research, and development, San Francisco State University)
offer a textbook for popular music, humanities, or cultural studies
courses, organized by the musical influences of particular cultural
groups--African American, European American, Latin, Native American
and Asian--rather than a strict chronological approach. This is
followed by a section tracing modern jazz to hip hop. They survey a
broad range of styles, from minstrelsy, blues, hymns, and wind bands
to Chicano music, Afro-Caribbean music, bebop, acid jazz, girl
groups, folk-rock, the British invasion, R&B, and rock. The text is
accompanied by two CDs. Both authors are also professional musicians.
