Description
Publicist and musicologist Z. K. Slabý presents readers with a well-informed yet very readable collection of several hundred entries covering the area of alternative, avant-garde, improvised, progressive, and experimental music, connecting influences from jazz, rock, chamber, ethnic, etc. In the two-volume encyclopedia "Other Music," readers will learn about groups or performers like Lester Bowie, John Zorn, Cpt. Beefheart, Art Bears, Work, Art Ensemble of Chicago, and many others. Attention is given to both the American and European or Asian scenes - simply everything that deviates from the established notion of unchanging musical genres.
