His expansive musicianship, riveting performances, and inventive compositions expanded the bebop idiom and pushed jazz musicians of all stripes to higher standards of performance. Yet Powell remains one of American music's most misunderstood figures, and the story of his exceptional talent is often overshadowed by his history of alcohol abuse, mental instability, and brutalization at the hands of white authorities. In this first extended study of the social significance of Powell's place in the American musical landscape, Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr. shows how the pianist expanded his own artistic horizons and moved his chosen idiom into new realms. Illuminating and multi-layered, The Amazing Bud Powell centralizes Powell's contributions as it details the collision of two vibrant political economies: the discourses of art and the practice of blackness. 410 0$aMusic of the African diaspora ;$v17. 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 610 $a20th century. 610 $aafrican american biographies. 610 $aafrican american studies. 610 $aalcohol abuse. 610 $aamerican music. 610 $aart. 610 $aartistic horizons. 610 $aartists. 610 $abebop idiom. 610 $abebop. 610 $abiography. 610 $ablack biographies. 610 $aentertainment industry. 610 $aexceptional talent. 610 $aexpansive musicianship. 610 $ahistory of jazz music. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainventive compositions. 610 $ajazz music. 610 $ajazz musicians biographies. 610 $amental health issues. 610 $amisunderstood figures. 610 $amusic. 610 $amusical genres. 610 $amusical minds. 610 $amusicians. 610 $apianist. 610 $ariveting performances. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a786.2/165092 700 $aRamsey$b Guthrie P$01016557 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786240203321 996 $aThe amazing Bud Powell$93765743 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03013nam a2200253 i 4500 001 991004265227007536 005 20231116123630.0 008 210331s2021 sz r 000 0 eng d 020 $a9783030668167 040 $aBibl.

A Brief Tour of Electromagnetism -- 2. Field Energy and Momentum -- 3. A Frame Invariant Electromagnetism -- 4. The Field Tensors -- Index -- Appendix 520 $aThis book is intended to engage the students in the elegance of electrodynamics and special relativity, whilst giving them the tools to begin graduate study. Here, from the basis of experiment, the authors first derive the Maxwell equations and special relativity. Introducing the mathematical framework of generalized tensors, the laws of mechanics, Lorentz force and the Maxwell equations are then cast in manifestly covariant form. This provides the basis for graduate study in field theory, high energy astrophysics, general relativity and quantum electrodynamics. As the title suggests, this book is ?electrodynamics lite?. The journey through electrodynamics is kept as brief as possible, with minimal diversion into details, so that the elegance of the theory can be appreciated in a holistic way. It is written in an informal style and has few prerequisites; the derivation of the Maxwell equations and their consequences is dealt with in the first chapter. Chapter 2 is devoted to conservation equations in tensor formulation; here, Cartesian tensors are introduced. Special relativity and its consequences for electrodynamics are introduced in Chapter 3 and cast in four-vector form, and here, the authors introduce generalized tensors. Finally, in Chapter 4, Lorentz frame invariant electrodynamics is developed. Supplementary material and examples are provided by the two sets of problems. The first is revision of undergraduate electromagnetism, to expand on the material in the first chapter. The second is more advanced corresponding to the remaining chapters, and its purpose is twofold: to expand on points that are important, but not essential, to derivation of manifestly covariant electrodynamics, and to provide examples of manipulation of cartesian and generalized tensors. As these problems introduce material not covered in the text, they are accompanied by full worked solutions. The philosophy here is to facilitate learning by problem solving, as well as by studying the text. Extensive appendices for vector relations, unit conversion and so forth are given with graduate study in mind 650 4$aElectrodynamics 912 $a991004265227007536 996 $aCore electrodynamics$92831733 997 $aUNISALENTO
