Bossa Nova & The Rise Of Brazilian Music In The 60s (hardcover)
Book (Item 525344) Soul Jazz (UK), 2010 — Condition: New Copy
One of the most beautiful books of album cover art we've ever seen – a spectacular volume devoted to bossa nova records of the 60s! The albums here are all the real deal – original Brazilian recordings that helped shape the sound of that country's popular music from the 60s onwards – presented here in stunning color, with full-size images that are far nicer than most of the beat up original copies we've seen over the years! The selection of pictures is wonderful – and features a mix of classic images from labels like Elenco or Philips, plus other obscure titles we've never seen before – more than enough to get us digging for original copies, but loving their inclusion in the book in the meantime. The hardcover volume was perfectly put together by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker – and it features notes on each cover, plus some other text bits as well – but all presented in ways that still let all of the pictures get full-size reproductions. 180 pages, hardcover, oversize, and in stunning color! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
