Never Drank the Kool-Aid
Essays
Touré
Picador
"If making analogies between ancient philosophy and hip-hop sounds incongruous and hyperbolic, well then you probably haven't experienced the keen universal logic of Touré . . . A seamless master of the interview format, he whips casual encounters into compelling narratives, ones that often have the arc of ancient tragedy . . . While this book is obviously for fans of hip-hop, it should be read by anyone who believes that hip-hop music and culture are merely the bane of society.
Never Drank the Kool-Aid
challenges those types especially to read, listen and learn."—

Making Popular Music
Musicians, Creativity and Institutions
Jason Toynbee
Bloomsbury USA
This is a highly original and compelling exploration of how popular music is made. The role of the musician is often camouflaged by commercial and marketing pressures and by the common assumption that the music simply reflects the musician's personality. Drawing on a wide range of ides from modern cultural studies, and examining musical texts from across the twentieth century, Jason Toynbee provides a lively reevaluation of what musicians actually do when they create popular songs.

Clawing at the Limits of Cool
Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and the Greatest Jazz Collaboration Ever
Farah Jasmine Griffin and Salim Washington
Thomas Dunne Books
“This marvelous book constitutes a much-needed paradigm shift in the story of jazz—a shift that skillfully fuses cultural and music criticism with a rich historical sensibility that highlights black genius as an artistic exploration and an existential adventure against the backdrop of our flawed democratic experiment called America. Griffin and Washington are preeminent critics of our time!”—
