DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the past 40 years, Summerfest's 11-day festival has grown to become the centrepiece of summer in Milwaukee -a place to party, play, shop, eat, drink, dance, people-watch and soak up the sun. But what has always defined Summerfest is the music. Some of the biggest acts in popular music have played on those stages, for a fraction of the cost to see them elsewhere. No other major festival cuts a wider swath through the American songbook. Summerfest's stages have been a gathering place for legends: Duke Ellington, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Bob Dylan, Van Cliburn, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles -- the list goes on and on. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been witness to every Summerfest. Its reporters and photographers have documented the attendees at play, the music legends at work, and every fun, memorable moment over the 40 years of Milwaukee's well-known festival. Summerfest presents 128 pages of hundreds of historic, amusing, heart-warming, and just plain silly photos from 40 years of the best time Milwaukeean1s have had at the lakefront.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNearly 50 years after his death, Louis Armstrong remains one of the 20th century's most iconic figures. Popular fans still appreciate his later hits such as "Hello, Dolly!" and "What a Wonderful World," while in the jazz community, he remains venerated for his groundbreaking innovations in the 1920s. The achievements of Armstrong's middle years, however, possess some of the trumpeter's most scintillating and career-defining stories. But the story of this crucial time has never been told in depth — until now. Between 1929 and 1947, Armstrong transformed himself from a little-known trumpeter in Chicago to an internationally renowned pop star, setting in motion the innovations of the Swing Era and Bebop. He had a similar effect on the art of American pop singing, waxing some of his most identifiable hits such as "Jeepers Creepers" and "When You're Smiling." However as author Ricky Riccardi shows, this transformative era wasn't without its problems, from racist performance reviews and being held up at gunpoint by gangsters to struggling with an overworked embouchure and getting arrested for marijuana possession. Utilizing a prodigious amount of new research, Riccardi traces Armstrong's mid-career fall from grace and dramatic resurgence. Featuring never-before-published photographs and stories culled from Armstrong's personal archives, Heart Full of Rhythm tells the story of how the man called "Pops" became the first "King of Pop."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJoseph A. Rodriguez critically examines the urban design and revitalization initiatives undertaken by both the government and the people of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the 1990s, New Urbanists followed a city tradition of using urban design to solve problems while seeking to elevate the city’s national reputation and status. While New Urbanism was not the only design element undertaken to further Milwaukee’s redevelopment, the elite focus on New Urbanism reflected an attempt to fashion a self-help narrative for the revitalization of the city. This approach linked New Urbanist design to the strengthening of grassroots community organizing and volunteerism to solve urban problems. Bootstrap New Urbanism: Design, Race, and Redevelopment in Milwaukee uncovers a practice with implications for urban history, architectural history, planning history, environmental design, ethnic studies, and urban politics.
