On the History of Rock Music follows the development of rock music from its origins up to the present time. It focuses on the relationship between the sound, improvisations and rhythms in particular styles, and gives specific attention to the development of rhythm. The beat-offbeat principle, polyrhythms and polymetrics are fundamental to rock rhythm patterns, which serve as archetypes for specific rhythms. An archetype is a prototype, a model, or an innate experience of a species. Using more than 250 score examples, the author identifies the characteristic rhythmic patterns in rock styles, ranging from rock and roll, hard rock and punk rock to alternative rock, indie rock and grind core.

In the 20th century, jazz was an important artistic form. Depending on the particular European country, jazz music carried different social, political and aesthetic meanings. It brought challenges in the areas of racial issues, the politics of the Cold War between East and West, and in the exploration of boundaries of artistic freedom. In socialist Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Poland, the situation began to change after 1956 and then 1968, when the ideologists shifted from the aesthetics of socialist realism to postmodernism. In Western countries such as France and Italy, jazz transformed from a modern to a postmodern period. This volume deals with the impact of these changes on the career development of jazz musicians – even beyond 1989 – in terms of various phenomena such as emigration, child prodigies, multiculturalism, multi-genre approaches, or female jazz musicians.

*Ubuntu Fusion Music received a Certificate of Merit in the category Best History in Recorded Jazz at the 2025 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence* In exploring heterogeneous intersections between jazz, rock, ethnic, and world music, this book answers the question as to whether fusion represents a style on its own or whether it is the base for combining diverse music sources. Social, political, and geographical divides reflected in post-communist, capitalist, and third worlds, and in democratic and dictatorial regimes have compelled substantial changes in musicians’ thinking. The book examines ethnic inspirations in American jazz, Slovak-American jazz, young French bands with diverse fusion identities, Hungarian and Czech progressive rock, Czech world music and brass bands, American psychedelic rock, Italian rock, and in a Romani-Slovak-Norwegian music project. New compositional and improvisational trends, and hybrid fusions in contemporary music embrace the African philosophy of ubuntu, which denotes feelings of mutual belonging free of prejudices against racial origins, social inequalities, or other cultural characteristics.
