| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. From rock and roll to rap, Detroit has been a hub for American music for nearly a century. Jazz artists like Duke Ellington and Pearl Bailey found fame in the Motor City and contemporary artists like Eminem and Kid Rock call Detroit home. This book looks at the ways Detroit has influenced rock and roll, jazz, Gospel, rap and popular music. It also describes musical venues and songs written with Detroit as a theme. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
