Rockin in Time by David P Szatmary

Rockin in Time by David P Szatmary

Rockin' in Time intrigues students by providing a social history of Rock and Roll music and explaining its influence. This book was written to address an area that seldom has been discussed. Rather than a compellation of the many bands in rock history or a guide to teach the musical notation of rock, this book uncovers the reasons for the various trends and types of rock and roll. It places rock and roll in the context of the social issues that surround and shape it, dealing with the influence on rock music of such trends as technological advances, the development of the music business, demographic change and the baby boom, economic shifts, and the civil rights movement.

Dave Szatmary worked in the music industry and taught the history of rock and roll at several universities after earning his Ph.D. in American History at Rutgers University. He has contributed to the All Music Guides to Rock, Jazz and Blues and wrote A Time to Rock (Schirmer s) He also authored Shays Rebellion (University of Massachusetts Press, 1980), which has been made into a film and served as the basis for a History Channel program. Szatmary regularly reviews rock and jazz books. He currently serves as the Vice Provost of Educational Outreach at the University of Washington, one of the premier professional and continuing education programs in the country that serves 50,000 students annually. He is a noted expert and has been interviewed extensively by the media about online learning and higher education budgeting in addition to rock and roll.
