		At a meeting of the Music Critics' Association in Washington, D.C., in October 1959, a representative of the State Department said that its sponsorship of musical tours is pursued as an arm of diplomacy; it is hoped that these tours will increase U.S. prestige abroad by dispelling the low opinion...

		Jan and Dean started vocal surf music off in 1959 with their hit "Baby Talk" and followed with such genre classics as "Surf City" and "Deadman's Curve," all featuring their trademark high harmony vocals and bouncy denatured Chuck Berry guitar riffs.
		Instrumental surf music featured throbbing tribal tom-tom tattoos and trebly, metallic, twanging guitar riffs: the Ventures' "Walk Don't Run," the Duals' "Stick Shift," Dick Dale and the Del-Tones' "Miserlou." Thanks in large part to the prolific Ventures instrumental surf rock has proven to be one of rock's more influential subgenres.
		In 1959, the sport received a boost from the movie Gidget, a tale of a young girl who spends a summer on the beach and falls in love with two surfers.

	History of Jamaican Music 1953-1973
		For them the music of choice was soul, but there was also a definite attraction to ska, with its irresistible beat, and also to the sharp looks of the rude boys, the most fashionable Jamaican youth.
		The music itself was faster than rock steady, but tighter and more complex than ska, with obvious debts to both styles, while going beyond them both.
		In the U.K. Trojan focused on the very commercial end of reggae, "music," noted writer Sebastian Clarke, "with a beat, a soft melody and strings behind it." It proved to be a potent combination.

	Malm, Traditional Japanese Music & Musical Instruments
		When William Malm published his wide-ranging study of traditional Japanese music in 1959, it was the first time in the twentieth century that such a work had been brought out in a Western language.
		The book opens with a brisk and eloquent history of Japan's musical life, then moves on to its religious music, Shinto, Buddhist, and Christian; its court music; the music of the noh drama; and the music of specific instruments: biwa, shakuhachi, koto, and shamisen.
		Among his publications are Nagauta: The Heart of Kabuki Music (1963); Music Cultures of the Pacific, the Near East, and Asia (1966); Six Hidden Views of Japanese Music (1986); and--a joint effort--Theater as Music (1990), in which one act of a bunraku puppet play is examined.

	Solo in Rio 1959 : Music
		Manha de Carnaval is at the heart of the bossa nova sound, which, by the way, is just as subtle and moving as it was when it was "popular".
		This recording is the meeting of two virtuosos - one the brilliant Brazilian guitarist Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001) and the other a recording technician and ethnomusicologist, Emery Cook (1913-2002), who captured this solo performance with a battery-driven Nagra III on an evening in Rio more than 45 years ago.
		This is also an historically interesting CD, with an excellent booklet which provides a great deal of pertinent information about an artist who really deserves much more attention by those who discuss the great acoustic (or classical/ nylon-string) guitarists of the 20th century.

		Considering that this was recorded on what amounts to a simple tape recorder back in 1959, the sound is amazing.
		I've just listened to it once, but this CD, like the music Luiz Bonfa composed, is immediately accessible.
		His technique (including "devices" such as the bush stroke that, if he didn't invent or develop, cannot be used better by any other guitarist with whom I'm familiar) allows him to focus on creating completely authentic music.

		At the same time they were not especially embraced by the serious folk audience, who frowned upon the group's popularization of traditional songs.
		However, the one place where the Kingston Trio received a good reception was at the Newport Folk Festival as this live album from 1959 evidences.
		The performance is not as polished as some of the group's live nightclub albums from this period, such as "from the 'Hungry I,'" but it does have a nice sense of energy.

		This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the '59 Les Paul as the Holy Grail of guitars in the minds of professionals, collectors, and weekend warriors.
		Whether you're looking for an exact replica of the Les Paul that your guitar hero made famous or you're simply looking for an SG that's "built like they used to be," the entire line of Historic Les Paul Reissues is built exactly like they were in the '50s and '60s.

		The relatively-conservative carry-over trends of Menoti, Poulenc, Britten, Hindemith, Copland and others stood in stark contrast to the now pervasive experimentation of avant-gardists such as Cage (chance music), Messiaen/Boulez ("total control" multi-serialism), and Varese/Stockhausen (electronic-influenced sound mass).
		This decade also saw Stravinsky's use of serial techniques in works such as In Memoriam Dylan Thomas, and the compositional maturation of Bernstein.
