A unique collaboration between two of the most important students of popular

A unique collaboration between two of the most important students of popular music, this volume explores two themes central to the study of music: the experience of musical participation and the experience of musical mediation; a number of the authors' most important essays, thoroughly revised, are introduced and framed by dialogues that supply additional context, introduce retrospective concerns, and reveal previously unseen connections; the format expresses the authors' desire for a more reflexive, experimental discourse on music and society; the subjects range from jazz, blues, polka, soul, rock, world beat, rap, karaoke, and other familiar genres to major scholarly debates in music theory and popular culture (cover has photo of South African street musicians on the front, very slight corner wear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
