About The Chicago Music Scene: 1960s And 1970s
Product Description This is the story of Chicago's vibrant music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. The 1960s and 1970s was a time when jazz, rock and roll, country and western, folk, blues, and R & B flowed through the streets of Chicagoland. Much has been written about the national and international talent of that time, but not enough has been written regarding local music scenes. This story focuses on the city of Chicago (along with its suburban club scene) and the homegrown performers who made the 1960s and 1970s one of the most electrifying and memorable periods in music history. Some of those players went all the way to the big time, while others made their mark and disappeared. But they all made a difference in their own way, and for those who were there, it is a time they will never forget. Review Title: Relive Chicago's Musical History in New Book Author: Staff Writer Publisher: Our Village Chicago Date: 11/6/09 Local author captures Chicago music scene of the 1960s and 70s Uncover two decades worth of stories from the Chicago music scene in the new photographic history book from Arcadia Publishing and local musician Dean Milano, The Chicago Music Scene: 1960s and 1970s. During an incredibly vibrant period in urban and suburban music scenes across the country, Chicago was a major player throughout the '60s and '70s. It was a time when jazz, rock and roll, country and western, folk, blues, and R & B flowed through the streets of Chicagoland. Much has been written about the national and international talent of that time, but not enough has been written about local hometown music history. This book focuses on the city of Chicago, along with its suburban club scene, and the homegrown performers who made the '60s and '70s one of the most electrifying and memorable periods in music history. Some of those players went all the way to the big time, while others made their mark and disappeared. They all made a difference in their own way, and for those who were there, it is a time they will never forget. Author Dean Milano hopes the book will "give some recognition to a few forgotten artists who deserve to be heard again, and stir up some nice memories for those who were lucky enough to hear the music of that time." H Highlights of The Chicago Music Scene: 1960s and 1970s: Many of the images in the book are from private collections and have never been seen before. Numerous musicians provided fascinating personal stories and bits of information not even their fans know! The book showcases a bevy of vintage images of bands and musicians before they made it big. Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or (888)-313-2665. Title: The Chicago Pop Festival Author: Ken Utterback Publisher: Nashville Music Examiner Date: 11/6/2009 It was just about a year ago today that I received the first of many emails from Dean Milano, an old musical acquaintance of mine from the late 1960's. After a quick introduction and reminder of our affiliations, he told me about a book that he was in the process of writing, about the vibrant Chicago music scene of the 1960's and 1970's. He went on to ask me if I had anything to submit, since I was very involved in that very scene so many years ago. Naturally, I was honored to be asked to contribute to such a project. and began putting some ideas in an email, along with photos of groups I had worked with during those years. In the following months, as more stories and photos started coming in from all over Chicagoland, the book, titled The Chicago Music Scene: 1960's and 1970's, became the seed of something a whole lot bigger. Not long ago, an all-star jam was suggested and eventually scheduled for this month. A wildfire of interest and support soon began to flourish and what had been born as a book project quickly started to grow by leaps and bounds. As of now, the book signings are happening
