Ted Gioia tells the story of rebels, outsiders and provocateurs. Shows us how music challenges the prevailing order and transforms the world. In this book you will meet Sappho, Bach and Kurt Cobain. However, its main character is still music itself - the greatest force of destruction and construction, which you always try to subdue, but never come out of. This book will interest not only music fans but also history lovers. Whether you're into jazz, punk or techno, here's where your favorite songs came from and how they influenced culture
and politics.
"The real history of music is not respectable. Not at all. It's not boring either. Advances almost always come from provocateurs and rebels. However, they don't just offer new songs, they often shake the foundations of society. When something truly new and different emerges on the music scene, the powers that be panic and try to stop it. We all know this because we have been there. We have seen firsthand how music challenges social norms and upsets the guardians of the status quo, be it political bosses or religious leaders.”
Contemporary American writer, Stanford University professor Ted Gioia is a cultural researcher, music historian, music producer and jazz pianist. Over a varied career, he has published twelve books on music and music history, which have been translated into many languages around the world.
The main character of Gioia's work is music, especially jazz and blues, and his books have become a favorite reading for music lovers over time.
