Reflections on President Barack Obama

The First president of Color of the United States

By: Dr. Ray C. Minor

Reflections on President Barack Obama By: Dr. Ray C.

It praises the President when warranted and scolds him and his political foes when appropriate. A critical comparison is made between Obama and Lincoln and Obama and Johnson. The essay questions the hope and change promised by candidate Obama, and also casts doubt on the new Trump administration.

A Theory of Citizen Equality

A Framework for Democratic Citizenship

By: Ray C. Minor

A Theory of Citizen Equality: A Framework for Democratic Citizenship advances a theory of citizen equality that provides a roadmap for leveling the playing field. Citizen Equality Model is a broad theoretical approach for establishing justice and equality in a political environment. The theory prioritizes economic, political, religious, and social domains. There are ten total domains with the other six being biological, physiological, psychological, legal, educational, and leisure. If these domains are optimized, then a person has a chance for equality and the benefits of social and economic advantages. It also lists and prescribes thirteen limitations on equality. The theory approaches equality from the viewpoint of citizen as a whole person. In this sense, a citizen is met at their status and assessed to determine requirements for elevation to full equality. The goal is to place citizens in the best position to maximize their ability to attain equality.

A Generative Theory of Tonal Music, reissue, with a new preface

By: Fred Lerdahl,Ray S. Jackendoff

A search for a grammar of music with the aid of generative linguistics. This work, which has become a classic in music theory since its original publication in 1983, models music understanding from the perspective of cognitive science.The point of departure is a search for the grammar of music with the aid of generative linguistics.The theory, which is illustrated with numerous examples from Western classical music, relates the aural surface of a piece to the musical structure unconsciously inferred by the experienced listener. From the viewpoint of traditional music theory, it offers many innovations in notation as well as in the substance of rhythmic and reductional theory.

East of Existentialism

The Tao of the West

By: Ray Billington

First published in 1990, East of Existentialism was written to explore new perspectives on eternal questions such as ‘Who am I?’, ‘Why am I here?’, and ‘Where am I going?’. The book brings together insights from existentialism in the West and Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the East, and presents practical case studies throughout to show the student how apparently abstruse themes relate to real-life situations. Divided into three parts, the first considers major Western contributions to the themes of human nature and destiny. The central section examines the connection between existentialism in the West and dominant philosophical schools in India and China. The last three chapters explore the relevance of Eastern ideas to Western thought, not only to provide philosophical theory but also to offer a greater understanding of moral and social dilemmas and of practical living. A full glossary explains the technical terms used in the book. East of Existentialism will appeal to those with an interest in philosophy and religious studies.

The Real Jazz Pedagogy Book

How to Build a Superior Jazz Ensemble

By: Ray Smith

Written by a jazz teacher for jazz teachers, "The Real Jazz Pedagogy Book" is based on the premise that successful jazz teachers must be constantly working four main areas: 1) the wind instruments-including tone production, intonation, and section playing skills; 2) playing styles correctly-such as rhythmic and time feel approach, articulation approach, and phrasing; 3) the rhythm section-playing the instruments, time feel and concept, coordination of comping, harmonic voicings, drum fills and setups, stylistic differences; and 4) the soloists-developing improvisational skills (both right brain and left brain), jazz theory, the ballad soloist, and the vocal soloist. Ray Smith, who has taught and directed jazz ensembles, including the acclaimed Brigham Young University group, Synthesis, and given private lessons for over forty years, also discusses the details of running school programs. Smith's YouTube channel complements "The Real Jazz Pedagogy Book.

Frankie McIntosh and the Art of the Soca Arranger

Frankie McIntosh and the Art of the Soca Arranger

By: Frankie McIntosh,Ray Allen

Soca music, an offspring of older Trinidadian calypso, emerged in the late 1970s and is now recognized as one of the English-speaking Caribbean’s most distinctive styles of popular vocal music. Frankie McIntosh and the Art of the Soca Arranger tells a story of Caribbean music in the diaspora through the eyes and ears of a pioneering soca arranger. A fascinating collaboration between Frankie McIntosh and music scholar Ray Allen, this cowritten memoir places the music arranger at the center of several overlapping narratives of immigration and musical diaspora. The book begins with McIntosh’s personal voyage from Saint Vincent to Brooklyn and his efforts to hammer out a career in music while raising a family in his newly adopted home. His immigrant tale is intertwined with his musical journey, from popular Caribbean dance bands through formal studies in Western classical music and jazz to his work as a gigging jazz pianist and calypso/soca arranger. Along the way he embraced the varied musics of New York’s African American and West Indian communities, working with such iconic calypsonians as the Mighty Sparrow, Lord Kitchener, Calypso Rose, and Alston “Becket” Cyrus. His story provides a unique lens for viewing Brooklyn Carnival music and brings into focus the borough’s rise to prominence as the transnational hub of the soca music industry in the 1980s. An alternative to traditional scholarship that tends to focus on calypso and soca singers, this work explores the instrumental dimensions of the art form through the life and music of one of the most celebrated soca arrangers and keyboardists of all time.

Safety and the bottom line

By: Frank E. Bird,Ray J. Davies

There is good evidence that a close relationship exists between management effectiveness & safety performance. A Canadian company says "safety & efficient operation are one & the same thing." Safety is (a) an excellent vehicle for accomplishing nearly everything we have to accomplish; (b) even more it is a brutally sharp measuring tool for telling us the results we are - or are not - getting. In the late 1980s, Paul O'Neill former CEO of ALCOA, proclaimed that safety would be FIRST in all actions. Combined profits for 1988 & 1989 were more than double the total of the 8 previous years. Mr. O'Neill's article, "A New Way To Wake Up A Giant," appeared in Fortune magazine October 22, 1990. Frank E. Bird, Jr. & Ray J. Davies, internationally known safety leaders, describe in detail; the reasons these positive benefits accompany the application of a good safety program in a just released, 325 page book, SAFETY & THE BOTTOM LINE. "Safety Develops a Quality Prone Environment," is typical of chapters describing Bottom Line benefits from the good, human relationship, value of safety, that was recognized as early as 2200BC in the Hammurabi Code.
