"Sports journalism at its finest, a book so well-researched that everyone who thinks they know Pre is in for a big surprise." --Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of Born to RunOn the 50th anniversary of American Track and Field icon Steve Prefontaine's tragic death comes an essential reappraisal of his life and legacy, a powerful work of narrative history exploring the forces and psychology that made Prefontaine great and separating the man from the myths. In the fifty years since his tragic death in a car crash, Steve Prefontaine has towered over American distance running. One of the most recognizable and charismatic figures to ever run competitively in the United States, Prefontaine has endured as a source of inspiration and fascination--a talent who presaged the American running boom of the late 1970s and helped put Nike on the map as the brand's first celebrity-athlete face.Now on the anniversary of his untimely death, author Brendan O'Meara, host of the Creative Nonfiction podcast, offers a fresh, definitive retelling of Prefontaine's life, revisiting one of the most enigmatic figures in American sports with a twenty-first-century lens. Through over a hundred and fifty original interviews with family, friends, teammates, and competitors, this long-overdue reappraisal of Prefontaine--the first such exhaustive treatment in almost thirty years--provides never-before-told stories about the unique talent, innovative mental strength, and personal struggles that shaped Prefontaine on and off the track. Bringing new depth to an athlete long eclipsed by his brash, aggressive running style and the heartbreak of his death at twenty-four, O'Meara finds the man inside the myth, scrutinizing a legacy that has shaped American sports culture for decades.What emerges is a singular portrait of a distinctly American talent, a story written in the pines and firs of the Pacific Northwest back when running was more blue-collar love than corporate pursuit--the story of a runner whose short life casts a long, fast shadow.

In continuation of The Sound of Steve Hackett: A Selection of Guitar Transcriptions from His Solo Career, the present book The Sound of Steve Hackett, Vol. 1: The Complete Guitar Transcriptions of Voyage of the Acolyte contains the first complete guitar transcriptions ever published on Steve's debut solo album Voyage of the Acolyte, featuring notes, tablatures and chords. It also includes unpublished charts of the instruments and gears that Steve used to record the album. Both the music sheet and the text in this first volume were also a result of live meetings between Steve Hackett himself and me. Steve reviewed these materials, making it, once again, a very reliable source for guitar players. As its predecessor, The Sound of Steve Hackett, Vol. 1: The Complete Guitar Transcriptions of Voyage of the Acolyte keeps the innovative style of being a mix of a book and a songbook along with having the differentiating mark of being a pioneer work. Besides the discussions with Steve, other sources were the communications with people that were directly part on the making of Voyage of the Acolyte, having worked directly with Steve, including: John Hackett, Steve's youngest brother, a flautist, composer, guitarist and keyboard player; Sally Oldfield, singer; and Pete Cornish, who has built pedalboards for Steve throughout his career. The result of interviews and live meetings I had with Steve during the years of 2017 and 2018, the work brings previously unpublished information on how Steve first conceptualized Voyage of the Acolyte, his first solo album, recorded while Steve was still a member of Genesis, and the history of how Steve - as composer and instrumentalist, and the other musicians - started recording it all the way until its release. Voyage of the Acolyte (released in October 1975) is one of the most important records of prog rock of all time, merging elements from classical music using instruments such as: flute, oboe, cor anglais, cello, acoustic guitars, as well as electric guitars, keyboards, bass, and drums. This range of instruments and musical ideas clearly demonstrate the composer's eagerness to express a series of high quality compositions that had been often stunted. All the songs on the album were composed by Steve Hackett, except A Tower Struck Down, written in partnership with John Hackett, and Shadow of the Hierophant, with Mike Rutherford. The previously unpublished charts of the instruments and gears that Steve used in each song of the album is another fact of relevance in this first volume. These charts were put together by me upon thorough investigation. They are the first evidence, in my opinion, of how Steve creates his unique and differentiate sound - as per the name of this collection - along with his remarkable technique, previously detailed in The Sound of Steve Hackett - A Selection of Guitar Transcriptions from His Solo Career. Besides the charts, the book includes unpublished photographs taken by me of Steve's hands on the guitar showing details of parts of the songs in Voyage of the Acolyte. You will also find numerous unpublished photos of Steve's original instruments which he used on Voyage, in addition to unpublished photos of John Hackett's original manuscripts of parts of the songs included in the album.

In March 1990, after kissing his wife and boys goodbye, Barry Jones departed his small town home and headed to work in the city. He never arrived. Now seven years later, in order to collect his life insurance, Cathy Jones is set to have the courts declare her absentee husband dead once and for all. Enter Private Investigator Steve Cassidy - a man with a checkered past and looking for a second chance. Hired by Global Insurance to take a fresh look at this cold case, Cassidy must try to uncover new clues to Jones' disappearance. However, with the court date looming, there is precious little time to complete his investigation. In addition to seeking out the truth, Cassidy must overcome another major obstacle: the skeptical locals in his hometown of Delta, which he left under mysterious circumstances years earlier. Cassidy must also explore his own heart when confronted by his high school sweetheart - the girl he left behind. Like Barry Jones, he too had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind countless unanswered questions. Did he and Jones have more in common than he would like to admit? If so, would the information ultimately help him find his man? Global Insurance was gambling he could, while the good citizens of Delta were wagering he couldn't. Steve Cassidy, a disgraced ex-cop with a broken soul, had his work cut out for him. He knew this time around, he had one final shot at redemption and could blame no one but himself if he failed to solve his first big case.

Performance Practice in the Music of Steve Reich

Performance Practice in the Music of Steve Reich provides a performer's perspective on Steve Reich's compositions from his iconic minimalist work, Drumming, to his masterpiece, Music for 18 Musicians. It addresses performance issues encountered by the musicians in Reich's original ensemble and the techniques they developed to bring his compositions to life. Drawing comparisons with West African drumming and other non-Western music, the book highlights ideas that are helpful in the understanding and performance of rhythm in all pulse-based music. Through conversations and interviews with the author, Reich discusses his percussion background and his thoughts about rhythm in relation to the music of Ghana, Bali, India, and jazz. He explains how he used rhythm in his early compositions, the time feel he wants in his music, the kind of performer who seems to be drawn to his music, and the way perceptual and metrical ambiguity create interest in repetitive music.
