The Rock Snob's Dictionary : An Essential Lexicon of Rockological Knowledge by David Kamp, Steven Daly (Broadway)How to Hold Your Own with Rock Snobs
"The Rock Snob's Dictionary" is a new reference guide for learning the cryptic language of Rock Snobs, those obscurity-obsessed know-it-alls who love their rock music and use terms like "Seminal" and "old-school." Today, editors David Kamp and Steven Daly explain how you too can talk like a rock snob. Also: jazz critic Larry Blumenfeld stops by with a tale of two jazz festivals: George Wein's JVC Festival, which is a big, corporate-sponsored event by major stars at big halls; and the Lower East Side's Vision Festival, which is a nonprofit grassroots affair that gathers free improv and avant garde heroes for multishow nights at a downtown space. Together, they're a display of the breadth, depth, diversity and polarity of what jazz in June can mean.
