The Taylor Guitar Book. Growing from a small custom shop in the early 1970s to the only new brand to have challenged the traditional Big Three of American acoustic Guitars (Gibson, Guild, and Martin), Taylor has effectively changed the marketplace for acoustic steel-string Guitars and influenced every other maker of acoustic stringed instruments. But Taylor's influence in the Guitar market goes far beyond the Guitars themselves. Having pioneered the use of modern building techniques ? such as utilizing CNC machines, UV-finishing, etc. ? the company has been an undisputed leader when it comes to innovation. Taylor's latest efforts are concentrated on wood conservation, and again, the company is setting the example that the industry is following. The Taylor Guitar Book combines a historical storyline with useful hands-on information about model changes over the years ? to help readers learn how to identify and date a Taylor ? and features shop and factory photos (both historical and current) as well as full-color images of Guitars.

Le présent ouvrage est le résultat d'un colloque tenu en mai 2013 à l'ENSAPVS (Ecole Nationale d'Architecture Paris Val de Seine) à l'initiative de l'association AArchiMuse avec le soutien de l'Ecole et du laboratoire d'acoustique musicale de l'Université Paris VI Pierre et Marie Curie.Les incidences et les implications entre Jazz, acoustique, architecture et ville y ont été abordées de manière nouvelle.Musicien(ne)s, acousticien(ne)s, historien(ne)s, anthropologues, physicien(ne)s, architectes, ont mis en commun expertises, expériences et ont cherché à répondre à la question : quelles formes prennent ces liens entre architecture, acoustique, ville et musique de Jazz ?Il a résulté de cette rencontre des angles d'approche contrastés et complémentaires, de stimulantes pistes de réflexion, témoignant ainsi du fort potentiel de ce domaine de recherche.Cet ouvrage vise à retranscrire la richesse et l'originalité des points de vue et inviter le lecteur à découvrir - ou appréhender sous un nouveau regard - les relations ténues entre Jazz et Ville.La multiplicité des angles d'approche ici présentés pourra certainement susciter l'intérêt des théoriciens tout comme des praticiens de l'architecture et du Jazz - qu'ils soient mélomanes ou professionnels. Elle pourra également intéresser les maitres d'ouvrages, impliqués dans la gestion de ces lieux et de ces rapports, soucieux d'aller au-delà des modes immédiates afin d'accéder à la profondeur et à l'essence même de la culture, la créativité.
