Author Name
Don Armstrong (Author)
Don Armstrong has been writing about music journalism history for over a decade, starting with his first article about eminent music writer Ralph J. Gleason in the inaugural issue of Rock Music Studies, which pop music scholar Simon Frith cited in the 2019 Cambridge History of Music Criticism. Armstrong has also written about other topics in the history of the pop music press, including the contributions of early women journalists and the critical discourses surrounding country music and R&B. In 2019, Armstrong published "Hot Collecting Off the Record: Ralph J. Gleason's Start in Music Journalism" in Jazz Perspectives.Before delving into music journalism, Armstrong was an architect and Associate Professor of Architecture at the Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science at Tuskegee University, USA, where he published academic writings on design pedagogy and African American architecture.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Description
Discover the enthralling world of Ralph J. Gleason, a pioneering music journalist who expanded the possibilities of the newspaper music column, sparked the San Francisco jazz and rock scenes, and co-founded Rolling Stone magazine.

Gleason not only reported on but influenced the trajectory of popular music. He alone chronicled the unparalleled evolution of popular music from the 1930s into the 1970s, and while doing so, interviewed and befriended many trailblazers such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles.

A true iconoclast, he dismantled the barriers between popular and highbrow music, and barriers separating the musical genres. He played a crucial role in shaping postwar music criticism by covering all genres and analyzing music’s social, political, and historical meanings.

This book uncovers never-before-seen letters, anecdotes, family accounts, and exclusive interviews to reveal one of the most intriguing personalities of the 20th century. .
