{"product_id":"9780985926748","title":"For the Artists: Critical Writing, Volume 2","description":"While For the Artists, Volume 1, issued earlier this year, focused on visual artists, this second volume gathers together a number of reviews and essays I’ve written for various publications and websites critiquing books and music. – essays and reviews examine Wordsworth's great neglected poem The Prelude to Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams to celebrations of bassist\/composer Charlie Haden and rock group Animal Logic and a number of extended essays examine the so-called \"electric period\" of Miles Davis. More than a jazz musician, I attest repeatedly, Miles Davis' innovations – incorporating influences from outside the traditional jazz realm – exploded narrow confines and opened musical development to incorporate influences from every region and idea on the planet into an ever-evolving amalgam of aural delight and provocative emotional journeys.","brand":"Crony Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133683220720,"sku":"9780985926748","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985926748_p0.jpg?v=1763891212","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985926748","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
