Donald Byrd And 125th Street, N.Y.C. - Words, Sounds, Colors And Shapes (1982) [2007, Remastered Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Feb. 19, 2020

A definite soul based session for Donald Byrd – and that's saying a lot here, because his previous decade's worth of work had all had some sort of R&B focus. The main force behind the set here is Isaac Hayes – who's producing, arranging, and playing most of the keyboards on the album. Oddly, Ike's not singing at all – and vocals are instead handled by Rose Williams, Diane Davis, Pat Lewis, and Myra Walker – plus the Hot Buttered Soul group on backing vocals.

Donald Byrd - Caricatures (1976) [Reissue 2003]
EAC Rip | FLAC (tracks+.cue+log) - 264 MB | Covers (6 MB) included
Genre: Jazz-Funk, Soul Jazz | RAR 3% Rec. | Label: Blue Note (7243 5 80732 2 5)

One of his last efforts with the Mizell production team was definitely not his most critically acclaimed, but Caricatures continued Byrd's commercial winning streak that started years previous with 1969's Kofi and such '70s Blue Note classics as Places and Spaces, Black Byrd, and Street Lady. His last release for the label was no exception to the formula set forth from the previously mentioned albums. One of Caricatures strongest features is the level of musicianship from start to finish. Byrd recruited some of the top '70s soul-jazz musicians, such as Gary Bartz, Alphonse Mouzon, David T Walker, and future '80s R&B hitmaker Patrice Rushen, to help complement the musicianship laid down by Byrd and the Mizell brothers…

Donald Sassoon - Il trionfo ansioso. Storia globale del capitalismo eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at Feb. 1, 2022

Le imprese capitaliste esistono, in varie forme, sin dall'antichità, ma solo in tempi molto recenti il capitalismo si è impadronito del mondo. Per la prima volta nella storia dell'umanità, oggi un sistema economico è capace di garantire un alto livello di benessere e di consumi alla maggioranza di cittadini che hanno la fortuna di vivere all'interno dei suoi confini. Con questo libro Donald Sassoon, tra i più brillanti storici europei, analizza l'impatto che il capitalismo ha avuto nella formazione degli stati moderni, in che modo la creazione di comunità nazionali, del welfare state e di una regolamentazione del mercato hanno contribuito a rafforzarlo, e come esso si sia sempre dimostrato capace di innovarsi nella ciclica e inevitabile alternanza di vincitori e vinti, di trionfi e catastrofi..

Donald R. Prothero - Fossili fantastici e chi li ha trovati eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at July 14, 2020

Al giorno d’oggi ogni ragazzino saprebbe citare una lunga lista di nomi di dinosauri. Ma ci sono voluti secoli di sforzi e ricerche scientifiche – e anche una buona dose di fortuna – per arrivare a scoprire e distinguere le diverse specie di dinosauri che conosciamo oggi. Come siamo riusciti a sapere che il triceratopo aveva tre corna? Perché non tutti i paleontologi considerano il brontosauro una specie? Che cosa ha portato gli scienziati a credere che alcuni uccelli siano i lontanissimi parenti del velociraptor? In Fossili fantastici e chi li ha trovati Donald R. Prothero ci racconta non solo le storie affascinanti e sconosciute che si celano dietro le scoperte dei più importanti fossili ma anche le vite degli intrepidi ricercatori che hanno compiuto quelle imprese..

Donald R. Prothero - Rompicapo geologici e chi li ha risolti eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at Jan. 1, 2023

Ogni roccia racconta una storia. Per la maggior parte delle persone, una roccia è solo roccia, ma per un geologo esperto è un indizio ricco di preziose evidenze che possono essere lette chiaramente, se si sa come farlo. La geologia è come la serie televisiva CSI: geologi e paleontologi operano come investigatori forensi, mettono insieme impercettibili elementi di prova per ricostruire una “scena del crimine” del passato, spesso in modo incredibilmente dettagliato. Ancora una volta, Donald Prothero ha scritto un libro accurato e coinvolgente, leggibile da un pubblico di profani ma anche da lettori più esperti. Ciascun capitolo si concentra su una roccia particolare o su un importante fenomeno geologico, esaminando alcuni dei più interessanti fatti storici e culturali che li hanno riguardati..

The Temptations - A Song For You (1975) & Masterpiece (1973) [1986, Reissue] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Jan. 22, 2022

These two albums are almost perfectly suited to each other, representating the peak of the Temptations' early- to mid-'70s output. "A Song for You" was a rare Berry Gordy co-production (necessitated by Norman Whitfield's departure from the company) Gordy and Jimmy Bowen came up with an album that combined a powerful, funky beat with gorgeous singing (especially by Dennis Edwards) and a range of superb songs. These tapes sound extraordinary on this release, like they're really being heard properly for the first time. "Masterpiece" was precisely that for producer Whitfield, comprised of just six songs, every one of them a winner, including the epic-length title song, possibly the best extended track ever to come out of Motown Records. The two albums fit together almost seamlessly (though one wishes that "Masterpiece"'s tracks were first on the disc), and the only flaw is that there are no expanded notes or album credits.

The Emerald Duets is a crowning achievement among Wadada Leo Smith's many recorded duo collaborations with drummers/percussionists, that have previously featured such creative giants as Ed Blackwell, Jack DeJohnette, Milford Graves, Louis Moholo-Moholo and Gunter Sommer, among others. The Emerald Duets features four master drummers who have each, in their own unique fashion, contributed to the way modern drumming has developed in the past six decades and how it is now perceived. Pheeroan akLaff, Andrew Cyrille and Han Bennink are each featured on one disc and Jack DeJohnette on two discs, including Smith's five-part composition "Paradise: The Gardens and Fountains" that fills the fifth disc of this boxed set in its entirety.
