New edition of Joseph Vogel's book "Man In The Music"...
Joseph Vogel's book "Man In The Music, The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson" has been reissued in a new version still in English but somewhat different from the previous one, released in 2011.
You certainly know Joseph Vogel but if it's not the case, know that his work has been featured in the magazines The Atlantic, Slate, Forbes, Guardian, The Huffington Post and PopMatters. He has appeared in numerous documentaries, including Michael Jackson's Bad 25 and Journey from Motown to Off the Wall, both directed by Spike Lee. He wrote the texts in the libretto for Xscape, Michael Jackson's posthumous album, and contributed to Thriller's entry into the US Library of Congress's National Register. Vogel is an adjunct professor at Merrimack College in Massachusetts.
If the first edition was excellent; she had the honors of Spike Lee, J. Randy Taraborrelli, Rolling Stone or the Associated Press, even for years after its publication, Joseph Vogel says in the new edition of his book that he was eager to fine tune, revise and improve it. That's how he returned to work.
For years, he had accumulated a huge library of documents related to Michael Jackson. Google pages were filled with interviews, artist notes, obscure articles, road maps, session calendars, and other pieces of the puzzle.
In addition to his own work, a series of new books, documentaries, articles of reflection, academic articles and monographs on the King of Pop have been published. He met again with many former Michael Jackson collaborators to deliver a new edition of his book (544 pages).
Here are the differences with the old version that are announced in the news:
First there is more detail behind the scenes of the studios and on the details of Michael Jackson's albums about how, where and when they were made. This is the main difference with the old edition. The second is the correction of some errors, and the desire to focus on the music of Michael Jackson and mainly on his music. This edition focuses on songs and albums and not on video clips, touring and other performances.
The close collaborators that Joseph Vogel was interested in and many of whom met him were: Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, Bruce Swedien, Greg Phillinganes, Louis Johnson, David Williams, Paulinho da Costa, John Robinson , Johnny Mandel, Jerry Hey, Buz Kohan, Steve Porcaro, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich, Steve Lukather, Michael Boddicker, Matt Forger, Brad Sundberg, Bill Bottrell, John Barnes, Chris Currell, The Andra Crouch Choir, Bryan Loren, George Del Barrio, Teddy Riley, Brad Buxer, Michael Prince, Wild Chuck, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, David Foster, Austin Dallas, Rob Hoffman, Dr. Freeze, Babyface and Rodney Jerkins.
