Paperback. Etat : Good. Scientists have only recently learned that the particles of an oxygen atom vibrate in a major key and that blades of grass 'sing. Europe's foremost jazz producer takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, exploring the musical traditions of diverse cultures and reaffirming what the ancients have always known--the world is sound, rhythm, and vibration. Berendt's book is alive with his experiences--living in Bali, studying at a Zen monastery in Kyoto, and encountering budding jazz stars in Indonesia, Japan, Europe, and the United States. Drawing from his friendships with composers and performers as well as his knowledge of new physics and Tantra, cybernetics, Sufism, and the works of Hermann Hesse, he reveals the importance of sound in shaping cultural and spiritual life worldwide. A tribute to the work of many of the greatest figures of our age--including Hans Kayser, Jean Gebser, Sufi Hazrat lnayat Khan, musicians John Coltrane and Ravi Shankar--Berendt's book suggests that hearing, rather than seeing, is the key to a more spiritual experience of consciousness. His discussion of sound in relation to mathematics, logic, sacred geometry, myth, and sexuality is practical as well as theoretical, offering readers a variety of techniques for developing the ear as an organ of spiritual perception.…

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Sixth Edition - First Printing. 540 Pages Indexed. New sections for the 1992 Edition were translated from the German by Tim Nevill. Very minor cover edge wear. No other defects noted to this tight book with a flawless interior. Jazz has always been the concern of a minority-always. Even in the age of Swing, the thirties, the jazz of creative black musicians was--except for very few recordings-recognized by only a few. Still, taking an active interest in jazz means working for a majority, because the popular music of our times feeds on jazz: All the music we hear in TV series and on Top 40 radio, in hotel lobbies and on elevators, in movies, and through Walkman; all the music to which we dance, from Charleston to rock, funk and hip-hop; all those sounds that daily engulf us -- all that music comes from jazz, because beat came to Western music through jazz. Taking an active interest in jazz means improving the quality of the sounds around us-the level of musical quality, which implies, if there is any justification in talking about musical quality, the spiritual, intellectual, human quality -- the level of our consciousness. In these times, when musical sounds accompany the takeoff of a plane as well as a detergent sales pitch, the sounds around us directly influence our way of life, the quality of our lives. That is why we can say that taking an active interest in jazz means carrying some of the power, warmth, and intensity of jazz into our lives.…
