A new and accessible introduction to this exciting, controversial, and often misunderstood music, drawing on extensive research, close listening, and the author's experience as a performer.In the late 1950s, free jazz broke all the rules, liberating musicians both to create completely spontaneous and unplanned performances and to develop unique personal musical systems. This genre emerged alongside the radical changes of the 1960s, particularly the Civil Rights, Black Arts, and Black Power movements. Free Jazz is a new and accessible introduction to this exciting, controversial, and often misunderstood music, drawing on extensive research, close listening, and the author's experience as a performer. More than a catalog of artists and albums, the book explores the conceptual areas they opened: freedom, spirituality, energy, experimentalism, and self-determination. These are discussed in relation to both the political and artistic currents of the times and to specific musical techniques, explained in language clear to ordinary readers but also useful for musicians.

Die Zukunft der Arbeit erreichte uns früher als erwartet. Beschleunigt durch Covid-19 entstand ein dringender Bedarf an neuen Denkweisen, neuen Strategien - und vor allem an einem vertrauenswürdigen Leitfaden, der uns auf dieser Reise begleitet. So eine Hilfe bietet Jeff Schwartz in seinem Buch. Als Gründungspartner der Deloitte-Consulting-Praxis "Future of Work" liefert Schwartz Klarheit, Humor, Weisheit und praktische Ratschläge für die Zukunft der Arbeit, ein Thema, das leider oft von Fehlinformationen, Angst und Verwirrung geprägt und umgeben ist. Mit einem grundlegenden Glauben an die Kraft menschlicher Innovation und Kreativität präsentiert Schwartz die Schlüsselthemen, kritischen Entscheidungen und potenziellen Fallstricke, die auf jedermanns Radar sein müssen. - Wenn Sie befürchten, dass Roboter Ihnen in Zukunft Ihre Arbeit wegnehmen könnten, werden Sie sich durch die realistische Perspektive, die faktenbasierten Erkenntnisse und die praktischen Schritte, die Schwartz anbietet, beruhigt fühlen. - Wenn Sie sich nicht sicher sind, wie Sie sich überhaupt vorbereiten sollen, folgen Sie seinen besonnenen Ratschlägen und einfach zu befolgenden Aktionsplänen. - Wenn Sie sich als Führungskraft in der Zwickmühle zwischen Durchhaltevermögen und Nachdenken über die nächsten Schritte befinden, werden Sie das Buch zu schätzen wissen. - Wenn Sie sich fragen, wie Covid-19 die Art und Weise und den Ort Ihrer Arbeit verändern wird, dann lesen Sie dieses Buch. Geschrieben in einem Gesprächsstil von Schwartz mit Suzanne Riss, einer preisgekrönten Journalistin und Buchautorin, bietet "Arbeit im Wandel" eine willkommene Alternative zu Büchern über das Thema, denen es an einer breiten Perspektive fehlt oder die sich eher mit den Problemen beschäftigen als Lösungen anzubieten. Top-aktuell und aufschlussreich enthält das Buch die Auswirkungen von Covid-19 auf unsere gegenwärtige und zukünftige Arbeit. Interviews mit führenden Denkern über die Zukunft der Arbeit bieten zusätzliche Perspektiven und Orientierungshilfen. Karikaturen, die der führende Illustrator Tom Fishburne für das Buch erstellt hat, lassen die Reise des Lesers und die komplexen Fragen rund um das Thema lebendig werden.

Jeff Immelt and the New GE Way: Innovation, Transformation and Winning in the 21st Century

Jeff Immelt and the New GE Way: Innovation, Transformation and Winning in the 21st Century

David Magee

McGraw-Hill Professional
2009
sidottu
When it was announced in late 2000 that Jeff Immelt would be taking the helm of GE, some skeptics were quick to voice their reservations about the future of the company after Jack Welch. Not only were Welch's shoes particularly large ones to fill, but the economy was dallying with recession, China and India were taking their first giant steps into the global economy, and just four days into Immelt's tenure came the biggest game changer of all: 9/11.The hand-wringing, it turned out, was all for nought. During Immelt's first seven years on the job, GE's revenues increased by more than 60%, its profits doubled, and the company solidified its status as the world leader in technological innovation.Written with the full cooperation of Immelt and GE senior executives, Jeff Immelt and the New GE Way tells the amazing story of how Immelt defied the skeptics and successfully reengineered one of the world's oldest and largest global conglomerates to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn how it's done from a master, detailing the trendsetting innovations Immelt pioneered that have made his vision a reality, including:Mandating non-stop, company-wide innovationMaking customers partners in growth through Customer Dreaming Sessions Developing region-specific products and servicesPartnering with the most promising new-technology upstartsGoing green with a hugely successful Ecomagination initiativeFostering a non-stop learning environmentThe critics were right: Jeff Immelt is no Jack Welch. Just as Welch embodied corporate leadership for the closing decades of the 20th century, Immelt has come to personify the 21st century CEO. As Esquire magazine said when it named him one of The 75 Most Important People of the 21st Century: “The day will come, when GE chairman and CEO, Jeff Immelt, will be viewed as the prototypical leader for the new century.”

A fresh and engaging look at the controversial work of Jeff Koons, with insightful analyses and illustrations of all of his iconic pieces alongside preparatory works and historical photographs Examining the breadth and depth of thirty-five years of work by Jeff Koons (b. 1955), one of the most influential and controversial artists of the 20th century, this highly anticipated volume features all of his most famous pieces. In an engaging overview essay, Scott Rothkopf carefully examines the evolution of Koons’ work and his development over the past thirty-five years, offering a fresh scholarly perspective on the artist’s multi-faceted career. In addition, short essays by a wide range of interdisciplinary contributors—from academics to novelists—probe provocative topics such as celebrity and media, markets and money, and technology and fabrication. Also included are preparatory sketches and plans for sculptures and paintings as well as installation photographs that shed light on Koons’ artistic process and trace the development of his work throughout his landmark career. Koons has risen to international fame making art that reimagines and recontextualizes images and objects from popular culture such as vacuum cleaners, basketballs, and balloon animals. Created with painstaking attention to detail by a team of fabricators, these objects raise questions about taste and popular culture, and position Koons as one of the most lauded and criticized artists working today.

Jeff Wall

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
sidottu
A handsome volume of the renowned photographer’s work from 2005 to 2021 Best known for his large-scale photographs, carefully constructed “near documentaries” created in collaboration with the subjects, Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is one of the most influential photographers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Often displayed as backlit color transparencies, Wall’s works have helped define the use of color and painterly sensibilities in contemporary art photography. This volume collects over fifteen years’ worth of new work from Jeff Wall in a lavish presentation that includes multiple gatefolds to better convey the scale of Wall’s work. As a collection of Wall’s most recent work, this volume will include numerous pieces that are as-yet unfamiliar to many of his fans. Chevrier’s essay deftly summarizes the varied directions of Wall’s recent work and contextualizes them within the body of work that precedes this volume; de Duve’s and Campany’s wide-ranging conversations with the artist cover the role of performance and the effects of spontaneity and scale, respectively.Distributed for Gagosian

Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice

Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice

DA CAPO
2019

The journals, notebooks, musings, and early song drafts of Jeff Buckley, the late singer best-known for the definitive version of "Hallelujah" and his classic album Grace, including dozens of evocative photos of his personal effects and ephemera.After the release of his acclaimed debut album, Grace, in 1994, Jeff Buckley quickly established himself as one of the decade's most defining talents in pop music: a singer, guitarist, and songwriter with a multi-octave range whose tastes took in rock, blues, jazz, hardcore, Qawwali music, and even show tunes. Hailed by the likes of Bono, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant, Grace showcased Buckley's voice, passion, and influences and pointed to an inordinately promising future. Three short years later, at the age of thirty, he tragically drowned in Memphis. But his legend and stature have only grown since; in recent years, everyone from Adele to Coldplay to Radiohead has spoken of the impact Buckley's music had on them.For much of his life, Buckley diligently kept journals recording his goals, inspirations, aspirations, and creative struggles. These diaries amount to one of the most insightful life chronicles any musical artist has left behind. Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice marks the first-ever publication of Buckley's handwritten account of his journey from his days in Los Angeles in the late '80s through shortly before his passing. Combined with reproductions of other memorabilia--including letters, notes, and unpublished lyrics--this book takes readers and fans deep into Buckley's mind and life.

A New York Times Notable Book A Best Book of the Year: The Economist, The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Slate.com, and TimeIn Venice, at the Biennale, a jaded, bellini-swigging journalist named Jeff Atman meets a beautiful woman and they embark on a passionate affair. In Varanasi, an unnamed journalist (who may or may not be Jeff) joins thousands of pilgrims on the banks of the holy Ganges. He intends to stay for a few days but ends up remaining for months. Their journey--as only the irrepressibly entertaining Geoff Dyer could conjure--makes for an uproarious, fiendishly inventive novel of Italy and India, longing and lust, and the prospect of neurotic enlightenment.
