Tulsa, Oklahoma might not be the first place one considers in the history of American music but this city in northeastern Oklahoma has a rich and diverse musical heritage that deserved to be celebrated. You'll learn how Tulsa musicians and bands influenced the worlds of rock and roll, country, jazz, blues, R&B, hip hop, rap and so much more. There is the happy toe-tapping Western Swing played by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. The blend of rock and blues and jazz and swamp-style pop championed by Leon Russell and J.J. Cale. The danceable funk of The Gap Band and the smooth R&B of that group's lead singer, Charlie Wilson. Then there are country music stars like Garth Brooks and Zach Bryan. And Tulsa being a turning point for jazz legend Count Basie. Tulsa Sounds: Contributions to American Music is a must-read for anyone that loves music and wants to learn more about the rhythm of life found in the American Heartland.

Dancing to the Drum Machine is a never-before-attempted history of what is perhaps the most controversial musical instrument ever invented: the drum machine. Here, author Dan LeRoy reveals the untold story of how their mechanical pulse became the new heartbeat of popular music. The pristine snap of the LinnDrum. The bottom-heavy beats of the Roland 808. The groundbreaking samples of the E-MUSP-1200. All these machines-and their weirder, wilder-sounding cousins-changed composition, recording, and performance habits forever. Their distinctive sounds and styles helped create new genres of music, like hip hop and EDM. But they altered every musical style, from mainstream pop to heavy metal to jazz. Dan LeRoy traces the drum machine from its low-tech beginnings in the Fifties and Sixties to its evolution in the Seventies and its ubiquity in the Eighties, when seemingly overnight, it infiltrated every genre of music. Drum machines put some drummers out of work, while keeping others on their toes. They anticipated virtually every musical trend of the last five decades: sequencing, looping, sampling, and all forms of digital music creation. But the personalities beneath those perfect beats make the story of drum machines a surprisingly human one-told here for the very first time.
