A principios de los ochenta y tras fichar con Island Records, Tom Waits sorprende con un cambio radical de estilo. Atrás quedan el piano y el acompañamiento jazzístico, mientras el imprevisible antiheroe se sumerge en un mundo experimental, en el que caben todo tipo de artilugios cotidianos para lograr el sonido deseado. El resultado son canciones de atmosfera palpable, con vida propia, que respiran por si solas. La originalidad de su universo sonoro vuelve a afianzarse sobre unos textos cargados de expresividad, donde la referencia cotidiana remite a un trasfondo de gran riqueza plastica. Tom Waits maneja con maestria el arte de la aparente simplicidad para evocar con precision sensaciones y vivencias concretas. Este segundo volumen de canciones de Tom Waits recoge las letras originales y su traduccion al castellano de estos cinco elepes de estudio: Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985), Bone Machine (1992), Mule Variations (1999) y Blood Money (2002).

Few artists can lay claim to representing an entire music genre: singer-songwriter, guitarist Bob Marley is one. His name is synonymous with the indigenous Jamaican off-beat music of reggae, a local genre he took from his beloved island homeland to the world. The first reggae superstar, the dreadlocked, ganja-smoking Marley became a musical ambassador not only for the rhythmic Caribbean music, but also for themes of peace, revolution, poverty, spirituality, love, and the Rastafarian philosophy. With his life cruelly cut short by cancer at only 36, Marleys entire recording career spanned only 19 yearsduring which time he created a canon of work which is more popular today than ever before. His greatest hits collection, Legend, is by far the best-selling reggae album of all time, while his 1977 opus, Exodus, was named Album Of The Century by Time magazine in 1999. Marley was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and honoured with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.

Este libro, originalmente publicado en 1962, es la historia de Charlie Parker contada por sus colegas, parientes, amantes y amigos. De los 81 testimonios (siempre cálidos, a veces cómicos, con frecuencia dramaticos) emerge la figura de un ser humano tan contradictorio como cautivador y el aire de un periodo mitico de la historia del jazz.

Douglas, TonyTo his many fans, he was known as "Mr. Excitement," a singer whose music and stage presence influenced generations of performers, from Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson. "Jackie Wilson: Lonely Teardrops" looks at the life and career of this deeply troubled artist When Jackie Wilson died in 1984, he was buried in a pauper's grave, devoid of even a simple marker. Yet, at his peak, he was one of the 20th century's finest singing talents who, between 1957 and 1968, achieved 24 Top 40 hits in the U.S. with tracks like "To Be Loved," "Higher and Higher," and "I Get the Sweetest Feeling." Wilson was the first major star groomed by Berry Gordy for his new Motown label, and scored the label's first hits, and thus is an integral part of this story. In live performance, Wilson's amazing vocal range and gliding, rapturous style influenced Elvis Presley himself and later Michael Jackson. Offstage, Wilson lived a life bent on self-destruction. Professionally controlled by the Mafia and hounded by the IRS, heembarked on three marriages and untold extra-marital affairs. He suffered massive alcohol dependency and chronic addiction to amphetamines and cocaine. Shot and critically wounded by a former girlfriend in 1961, he later suffered a heart attack in 1975 and remained in a coma until his death nearly nine years later. Written with the cooperation of Wilson's family, friends, and former lovers, this is a vivid portrait of musical genius and human tragedy. Also includes two 8-page photo inserts.
