Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Provides understanding as to why we debate music categories, and why those terms are unstable and always shifting. This book examines the impact of rock and roll's explosion in the 1950s and 1960s on country music and jazz, and how the jazz and indie music scenes have intermingled to expand borders of their respective genres.
MoreLong description:
The popularity of the soundtrack to the motion picture O Brother Where Art Thou?" brought an extraordinary amount of attention to bluegrass but it also drew its share of criticism from some aficionados who felt the album's inclusion of more modern tracks misrepresented the genre. This soundtrack these purists argued wasn't bluegrass but "roots music a new and, indeed, more overarching category concocted by journalists and marketers. Why is it that popular music genres like these and others are so passionately contested? And how is it that these genres emerge, coalesce, change, and die out? In Genre in Popular Music" Fabian Holt provides new understanding as to why we debate music categories and why those terms are unstable and always shifting. To tackle the full complexity of genres in popular music Holt embarks on a wide-ranging and ambitious collection of case studies. Here he examines not only the different reactions to "O Brother" but also the impact of rock and roll's explosion in the 1950s and 1960s on country music and jazz and how the jazz and indie music scenes have intermingled to expand the borders of their respective genres.; Throughout Holt finds that genres are an integral part of musical culture - fundamental both to musical practice and experience and to the social organization of musical life."
