Winona; located on an island where the upper Mississippi River flows from west to east; has been linked to the river from its earliest days. Before the community�s settlement; Native Americans and white explorers sailed past Wapasha�s Prairie in birchbark canoes; keel boats; and small sailboats. As early as the 1820s; steamboats plied the river while carrying people and goods to and from the state�s interior. Before bridges began to crisscross the river; merchants had to use boats to bring people and supplies to Winona before they could travel farther west. The first bridge to cross the river was a swing bridge that allowed steamboats to pass. Images of America: Upper Mississippi River at Winona uses images collected and archived in the Winona County Historical Society�s History Center to illustrate the history of the Mississippi River near Winona. Many of the photographs exhibited in this book have rarely been seen by the general public and have never been published.

Jazzers.a must readBy David AllenSome good stuff in here.Its only a foundation.of course.and after a certain point no on and no book can teach you to compose.really.Your instinct has to take over.But Russo breaks down some very fundamental as well as advanced concepts of theory and talks about matters such as instrument groupings.Very important text for the jazz composer/arranger or aficionado.Check it out!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. For beginners onlyBy revjcI suppose if you are just learning orchestration this is a good book to get. I you have set pen to paper and expect to get some of Russos more esoteric insights. forget it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy TAMMY CUNNINGHAMlove it
