Apex Blues

A Biography of Jimmie Noone Sr. and His Son, Jimmy Noone Jr.

By: Cecile J. Picou

Apex Blues chronicles the extraordinary lives and musical legacies of two generation-spanning Jazz clarinet virtuosos: Jimmie Noone Sr. and his son Jimmy Noone Jr. Jimmie Noone Sr. rose to fame in the 1910s New Orleans French Quarter jazz scene, forging his iconic ‘Sweet Lorraine’ style during the dawn of the genre. Later, his son Jimmy initially made waves as a San Diego local musician before feeling called to follow in his father’s footsteps. He set out to revive his dad’s New Orleans Jazz sound and mentorship. As the author witnesses firsthand, Jimmy exceeds even his father’s musical heights through raw talent and relentless dedication to his craft. In his final days, he completes his quest: to honor Jazz history by propelling his father’s sound into the future. Jimmy cements the Noone legacy, ensuring the nation remembers what sublime Jazz can be. Spanning generations, geographies, and evolutions of musical style, Apex Blues captures how two clarinet greats shepherded Jazz from regional obscurity into an acclaimed American art form.

Inward, Outward, Onward, Upward

A Lifelong Journey Towards Anti-Oppression and Inclusion in Museums

By: Cecile Shellman

Inward, Outward, Onward, Upward: A Lifelong Journey Towards Anti-Oppression and Inclusion in Museums puts forth an incisive look at diversity, equity, accessibility, inclusion, anti-racism, pro-marginalized people and museums. It asks its readers—museum professionals, paraprofessionals, museum governing bodies, and museum academic programs—to practice the skills of looking inward, developing empathy, working collaboratively across the museum to address the systemic effects of unexamined oppression, and working tirelessly for justice and change. DEAI—or whatever permutation of initials one might apply to this complex, critical concern—is not just about who leads museums and what they look like. It’s about acknowledging and redressing harms to people who have been, and continue to be, unjustly neglected, unfairly treated, willfully minoritized, and historically hidden from museums. It’s about looking at both the systems and the people who have caused harm and seeking to ameliorate them. It’s about being generous enough, brave enough, and vulnerable enough to learn from other people about ourselves, our shared motivations, beliefs, and practices, and to heal our world from the inside out. Leading museum DEAI consultant Cecile Shellman here offers more tools to help us talk, think, and work together. Chapters cover such hard topics as “The Individual and the 21st Century Museum: How Museums Have Changed and Why Individuals Need to Adapt,” “Don’t We All Matter? Why Tolerance and Kindness are Not Enough,” and “Understanding the Relationship between Privilege and Power: Making Decisions and Keeping Promises about DEAI Work.” Shellman offers numerous worksheets and forms that can be used by individuals or in group training sessions.

Grandma and Grandpa find themselves amused by their grandchildrens antics. They also love the way their grandchildren work together.

Detroit's Polonia

By: Cecile Wendt Jensen

More than a century has passed since the first Poles settled in Detroit. The first communities were established on the east side of Detroit, but the colony expanded rapidly to the west neighborhoods, and Poles in Detroit still identify themselves as East- or Westsiders. The pioneers left Poland for freedom of language and religion, and to own property. They replicated village life in the big city, living in close-knit neighborhoods anchored by the parish church. Polish immigrants made cigars, built railroad cars, molded stoves, established businesses and breweries, and moved into the political arena. The struggles and triumphs of these early settlers are on display in the pages of Detroit Polonia, a photographic history that links future generations with their Polish heritage.
