IN THE STUDIO WITH<br />

MICHAEL JACKSON<br />

Hal Leonard Corporation (Milwaukee, WI, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />

No one was closer to Michael Jackson at the height of<br />

his creative powers than Bruce Swedien, the five time<br />

Grammy winner, who with Jackson and producer<br />

Quincy Jones, formed the trio responsible for the<br />

sound of Jackson’s records that topped the charts and<br />

shook the world. Friend, co-creator, and colleague,<br />

Bruce Swedien was a seasoned recording engineer<br />

plucked from a job at legendary Universal Audio in<br />

Chicago when he began working with Michael<br />

Jackson and Quincy Jones on the soundtrack to “The<br />

Wiz.” He was the master technician who gave the<br />

records their sound as the trio progressed to Jackson’s<br />

greatest triumphs, “Off the Wall” and the iconic,<br />

history-making “Thriller,” which revolutionized<br />

music and video and fixed Jackson in culture as the<br />

“King of Pop.” “In the Studio with Michael Jackson”<br />

is the chronicle of those times, when everything was<br />

about the music, the magic, and the amazing talent of<br />

a man who changed the face of pop music and culture<br />

forever. In his laid-back style, Bruce Swedien offers<br />

anecdotes about being part of Quincy Jones’ extended<br />

“family” and reveals the technical details of creating<br />

Michael Jackson’s biggest selling albums, as well as<br />

“Bad,” “Dangerous,” and “HIStory.” Including over<br />

100 photos, “In the Studio with Michael Jackson”<br />

provides an insider’s look that will thrill anyone<br />

interested in the nuts and bolts of hit making and the<br />

history of some of America’s most influential music.<br />

GREAT AMERICAN SYMPHONY, THE<br />

Music, The Depression, and War<br />

Indiana University Press (Bloomington, IN, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />

The years of the Great Depression, World War II, and<br />

their aftermath brought a sea change in American<br />

music. This period of economic, social, and political<br />

adversity can truly be considered a musical golden<br />

age. In the realm of classical music, Aaron Copland,<br />

Samuel Barber, Howard Hanson, Virgil Thompson,<br />

and Leonard Bernstein, among others, produced<br />

symphonic works of great power and lasting beauty<br />

during these troubled years. It was during this critical<br />

decade and a half that contemporary writers on<br />

American culture began to speculate about “the Great<br />

American Symphony” and looked to these composers<br />

for music that would embody the spirit of the nation.<br />
