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 />
