Notes

What significance do the pieces collected in this collection by the Tiger Dixie Band have today? It's a repertoire from the origins of jazz, now nearly a hundred years old, largely originating in the American South. It represents a music born from the fusion of different European and African cultures.

While preserving the essence of that period, jazz has developed its own original physiognomy, which we can truly define as authentically American.

In the 20th century, when it was brought to Europe, particularly Paris, it quickly attracted the interest of artists and musicians such as Stravinsky, Ravel, Picasso, and Matisse. The latter created his splendid graphic album titled Jazz, featuring works of rare beauty, complemented by reflections on art and the creative process, inspired by the new music from overseas. Matisse wrote in the album, drawing inspiration from the observant spontaneity of jazz: "The artist must bring all his energy, his sincerity, and the greatest modesty to avoid cliché in his work."

Why revive those pieces today? Perhaps because they have retained their freshness and communicative tension, despite no longer being able to shake up perceptual habits as forcefully as they did in the early twentieth century. Because, despite their apparent simplicity, they conceal refinement and a great variety of timbral textures, colors, and nuances. Many musicians developing an innovative approach today intelligently draw on those timbral experiences, on spontaneous polyphony, aptly defined as heterophony by some scholars, which transcends the individual soloist to reinvigorate collective improvisation. In general, because of the stimulation this music still has.

The Tiger Dixie Band brings together distinguished soloists from the Triveneto region, a region with a nearly twenty-year history. At times, the band has sought a forward-thinking approach, recording with musicians like Markus Stockhausen and infusing a contemporary sensibility into its performances. At the same time, however, the band has strived to maintain a rigor faithful to the original model. The balance between the two components imbues the offering with a sense of purpose and makes it enjoyable and contemporary. The soloists have metabolized that language through years of practice and immersed it in their own contemporary sensibility, achieving a fluid interpretation, rich in nuance and subtle humor.

With this background, the band approached this early classical repertoire, adhering philologically to those compositions and infusing them with new vitality. The strong interplay between the wind instruments in the front line is prominent: trumpet, clarinet, and trombone, in the New Orleans tradition, joined by tenor saxophone. Throughout many tracks, one hears the perfect distribution of parts, treated in spontaneous counterpoint, from the opening "Original Dixieland One-Step" to "China Boy," from "Davenport Blues" to "Bill Bailey," which conceals within itself, with delightful humor, "Stormy Weather" and "La Vie en Rose." The same attention is evident in the arrangements, which cover famous songs and make improvisation a precious resource.

I'd recommend it, especially at this give-away-price
As a sociologist, I was always interested as to how the USSR could morph what Marx considered communalism networked by a shallow, weak, centralized and supposedly representative government into what I would considered an extremest left-wing oligarchy (most fashionably consider it right-wing despite how it was sold and supported by the people that allowed it- so much for cultural relativity and in context social analysis!). If Stalin actually wrote these pieces (or more commonly among dictators farmed it out to a frightened academic ghostwriter) then it could help explain why Marx disassociated himself with much of the Marxist movement toward the end of his life. It is a logically written and well informed book - worth the read if you are into the sociology of politics, philosophy of politics or the history of politics. I'd recommend it, especially at this give-away-price!

Good book, mediocre edition
Format: Paperback
This review pertains to the quality of this edition's editing and construction, rather than the content of the book itself. Rest assured that the text itself remains a valuable piece of introductory theory. The book is fairly well constructed, with paper and a binding that is sturdy enough for general use. However, my copy had several manufacturing errors including folded over pages being stuck into the binding. In addition, there are several misspelled words throughout the text and some obvious typos (missing letters, incorrect capitalization and punctuation) that did not majorly impact the readability of the text, but were, nevertheless, annoying. Considering the low price of this edition the manufacturing errors are hardly a big deal, but I would have preferred the text itself to have been treated with more care and respect while being prepared for printing.

thoughts on Xi Jinping
Format: Kindle
This book was highly organized and very easy to comprehend. I have formed a much better understanding of Xi Jinping and where he is taking China. Although I feel he has been thoughtful and successful in some areas such as improving China economically, I don’t feel his autocratic approach will succeed in the long run when more Chinese people will demand to be heard. Just as Mao thought didn’t outlast Mao, Xi thought will not outlast Xi.

The Book I Meant to Write
Format: Kindle
While doing my master’s degree in international relations, I completed a master’s thesis on Xi Jinping Thought (which, like the authors, I shortened to Xi Thought). I considered writing a book on the subject since there wasn’t a lot in English, but I no longer feel the need. This book fills every gap that was present. Well written and informative, it is the quintessential English source in Xi Thought. The authors put Xi’s political thought in a consultative Leninist paradigm and define that context clearly. Each chapter elucidates a little more and puts Xi thought front and center in China’s current transformation. I consider it a must read.

Great read and most importantly very topical
Format: Audiobook
The writers use published work of Xi and Chinese government official statements to describe the true nature of this most important Chinese leader who will have profound impact on the total world.Like it or not it is essential for all of us to really what he is preparing his nation for the vision he has.Americans are naive and totally ignorant.
