ill., br. Come fa la cheerleader più esibizionista del liceo a diventare la donna più famosa nel mondo dello showbusiness? Il libro di Mary Cross analizza le varie vicende biografiche - educazione, amanti, matrimonio, maternità, carriera senza riuscire a rispondere alla domanda "who's that girl". Chi è davvero Madonna? Forse è proprio questo suo atteggiamento ambiguo che ha contribuito a creare la star, la persona reale tende così a dissolversi tra le tante "maschere" da lei create, un atteggiamento che ha fatto scuola nello show business. L'edizione italiana è "illustrata" da opere inedite dei seguenti artisti: Matteo Bergamasco, Stefano Cumia, Luca del Baldo, Davide La Rocca, Roberta Savelli e Virginia Zanetti.
ill., br. La regina del pop è la protagonista di un picture book che ripercorre per immagini coloratissime la sua vita. Appare chiaro il percorso di Madonna, fatto di intuizioni, contrasti, scelte a volte difficili, grandi sacrifici e in testa un solo obiettivo: diventare una cantante unica. Professionista rigorosa, camaleontica e sempre all'avanguardia, Madonna è responsabile di una svolta epocale nella discografia mondiale: con lei è nato il fenomeno della star, non solo una cantante affermata, ma l'incarnazione di un messaggio, nel suo caso l'emancipazione - anche sessuale - della donna. Sylvia K interpreta la storia di successo di Madonna attraverso immagini ispirate alla Pop Art e ai cartoni americani, con intuizioni fantasiose e molto creative.
RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO: LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Eleonora, una ragazza adolescente nata in una città di provincia del nord Italia, inizia una serie di viaggi e contatti oltremanica incrociando alcuni tra i più importanti musicisti rock degli anni sessanta. L'autrice, che all'inizio entra a far parte di un gruppo fedele di fans e groupies, si ritrova ad assistere a concerti, produzioni discografiche, registrazioni e a intraprendere intere tournée insieme ai musicisti e a vivere lunghi periodi a Londra, Dublino e New York, città in cui conosce, tra gli altri, Elvis Costello e gli U2. Eleonora, che nel tempo diventa interprete, traduttrice, press-agent, giornalista e, in alcune occasioni, amica confidente di qualche musicista arrivando ad ispirare alcune canzoni, narra attraverso il suo vissuto personale e professionale l'intera opera di Pete Townshend, i concerti, gli incontri e le recenti interviste esclusive a personaggi come David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Rolling Stones, Andy Partridge, Jimmy Page e i Black Crowes, James Taylor e altri.

372 pages. Discography. Many wonderful black and white reproductions of archival photos.

"It has been a long, tough road for John Kay, truly a magic carpet ride from political oppression in Eastern Europe to freedom, success, conflict and personal triumph in North America. John has proven time and again that he is a survivor. This book is the record of John Kay's ride to freedom. Ride with him." - from Introduction. Unmarked with average wear. A sound copy. Book
ill., br. C'è un regno in cui si fondono fatalmente e orribilmente musica e medianità, esoterismo e sperimentazione, visioni e segreti, praeternaturale e soprannaturale. Quel regno ha la forma di un castello gotico, edificato sulla montagna, il cui sentiero impervio e nebbioso può essere percorso solo da spiriti eletti: uno di questi è Antonio Bartoccetti. Compositore, filosofo, psichiatra, spiritista, chitarrista... Bartoccetti è l'artista faustiano per antonomasia che, nel corso di una o più esistenze, ha gettato le basi di tutti gli umori più oscuri e misteriosi che il rock abbia mai vomitato dall'alba dei tempi. "Magister Dixit, la leggenda esoterica di Jacula e Antonius Rex", è la prima biografia ufficiale del Maestro del progressive più estremo e innovativo. Un viaggio che si snoda tra album sperimentali e inimitabili, scomparse inspiegabili, riti innominabili e predizioni avveratesi dal mondo spiritico fino ad arrivare alla profezia terrificante sull'imminente fine del mondo. Il Giardino del Mago vi aspetta... Per sempre, per sempre.
ill., br. Dalla furia del punk allo stridore del Britpop, Manchester è stata il cuore dell'innovazione musicale. La rivoluzione cominciò quando i Buzzcocks ingaggiarono i Sex Pistols per due concerti alla Lesser Free Trade Hall nel 1976. L'etichetta musicale della città, la Factory, diede alla luce i Joy Division/New Order e gli Happy Mondays. Ci sono stati il genio cerebrale degli Smiths, e poi la rivalità tra Stone Roses e Oasis, a farla da padrone sulle principali testate musicali di tutto il mondo. La Hacienda, il locale della Factory, divenne celebre per tutti gli anni Ottanta come fucina dell'importante scena di Manchester, contraddistinta da uno stile e un sound unici. Dalle ceneri ancora fumanti di Manchester sorsero poi, negli anni Novanta, gli Oasis, enfants terribiles del Britpop. Ora, attraverso decine di interviste ai più orgogliosi figli di MaDchester, da Morrissey a lan Brown, John Robb raccoglie le testimonianze dei musicisti più loquaci, che ci raccontano senza filtri la storia della scena musicale che li ha portati a godere di un successo mondiale.
No inscriptions or marks. No creasing to covers, crease to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, slight traces of handling and no bumping to corners. 176pp. This is the first truly comprehensive history of the Manic Street Preachers, arguably the most provocative and innovative band of the last 10 years of the twentieth century.
br. Il presente volume nasce con un duplice intento: da una parte quello di offrire, allo studioso come all'amatore, una trattazione storica della popular music e del jazz non eminentemente nozionistica, dizionaristica o velleitariamente enciclopedica, opponendo a un approccio prettamente informativo la ricerca, l'indagine, l'analisi, l'esplorazione; dall'altra quello di fornire un utile supporto bibliografico a studenti e docenti di conservatori di musica e università. La storia che qui si racconta viene dunque a realizzarsi, secondo le iniziali intenzioni editoriali, senza mai prescindere da approfondimenti di vario genere (musicali, estetici, economici, sociali, tecnologici, politici, antropologici, ecc.), in un ampio respiro che, a perfetta metà strada tra lo studio accademico e l'appassionata lettura, tenta così di restituire una visione d'insieme della musica più fruita del nostro tempo.
ril. "Non un libro qualunque, bensì una sorta di saggio in cui l'autore, pur esternando il proprio pensiero, alimentava lo stesso con quello dei protagonisti di quel periodo, raccogliendo in prima persona la storia e le impressioni dei musicisti che hanno dato vita ad un genere musicale unico. Una sorta di manifesto musicale affrescato con i colori della musica barocca, del rock e non per ultimo del jazz, il tutto miscelato in un quadro surrealista dalle tinte ben definite." (Dalla prefazione di Toni Fidanza)
