The Attentive Brain (Bradford Books)

The Attentive Brain (Bradford Books)
The MIT Press l English | 577 pages | 2000 | 0262161729 | PDF | 29 MB 

Of the myriad tasks that the brain has to perform, perhaps none is as crucial to the performance of other tasks as attention. A central thesis of this book on the cognitive neuroscience of attention is that attention is not a single entity, but a finite set of brain processes that interact mutually and with other brain processes in the performance of perceptual, cognitive, and motor skills. After an introductory part I, the book consists of three parts. Part II, Methods, describes the major neuroscience methods, including techniques used only with animals (anatomical tract tracing, single-unit electrophysiology, neurochemical manipulations)

Drummin’ Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz The Swing Years


Burt Korall, quot;Drummin’ Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz The Swing Yearsquot;
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002-12-05 | ISBN: 0195157621 | 400 pages | File type: PDF | 6,8 mb

In the 1930s swing music was everywhereon radio, recordings, and in the great ballrooms, hotels, theatres, and clubs. Perhaps at no other time were drummers more central to the sound and spirit of jazz. Benny Goodman showcased Gene Krupa. Jimmy Dorsey featured Ray McKinley. Artie Shaw helped make Buddy Rich a star while Count Basie riffed with the innovative Jo Jones. Drummers were at the core of this music; as Jo Jones said, quot;The drummer is the keythe heartbeat of jazz.quot; An oral history told by the drummers, other musicians, and industry figures, Drummin’ Men is also Burt Korall’s memoir of more than fifty years in jazz. Personal and moving, the book is a celebration of the music of the time and the men who made it. Meet Chick Webb, small, fragile-looking, a hunchback from childhood, whose explosive drumming style thrilled and amazed; Gene Krupa, the great showman and pacemaker; Ray McKinley, whose rhythmic charm, light touch, and musical approach provided a great example for countless others, and the many more that populate this story. Based on interviews with a collection of the most important jazzmen, Drummin’ Men offers an inside view of the swing years that cannot be found anywhere else.
