![]() ![]() Author: Salewicz Chris Publisher: ShaKe Jimmy Page, chitarrista leggendario e tecnicamente irraggiungibile, è stato il fondatore del più influente gruppo rock della storia, i Led Zeppelin. Ma la sua vita è rimasta un mistero. Finora. Questa è infatti la sua biografia definitiva, ricostruita grazie a interviste esclusive al musicista, agli altri componenti dei Led, e al suo seguito personale, ovvero amici, ex fidanzate, manager, decine di artisti che hanno avuto a che fare con lui. Ne esce un quadro incredibile. Un percorso avventuroso e pericoloso che ha trasformato un giovane inglese della classe media, in un musicista stellare disposto a morire per la sua arte, e che ha attraversato i meandri più oscuri dell'uso di droghe pesanti e la pratica della magia. Come nelle sue altre biografie musicali, Chris Salewicz fa emergere la vera personalità dell'' uomo' Jimmy Page, i suoi scheletri nell'armadio, le sue eccentricità e manie, in un panorama circostante in cui non sono mancati gangster, tragedie, lotte di potere anche all'interno della stessa band. € 19,00

![]() ![]() Author: Salewicz Chris Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux 'Chris Salewicz's account of the life of the late, great Robert Nesta Marley contains a raft of never-before published interviews with scores of people who knew the reggae singer. Indeed, Salewicz---a respected journalist whose Joe Strummer biography is also well worth a read-got to know Marley in 1979, and It's this authenticity that sets the book apart from other biographies about the man and the legend. From Bob's humble beginnings in Nine Miles to the years in Kingston and the fame, fortune and untimely death in 1981, Bob Marley: The Untold Story is the definitive account of the man and the myth.'---Steve Richards, The Independent 'Chris Salewicz, who worked for the NME throughout the 1970s, is well versed in the details of Marley's ascent. What makes his book worth reading, however, is his grasp of Marley's Jamaican background. Salewicz interviewed him in Kingston in 1979 and has clearly spent a lot of time since tracking down friends and relatives, many of whom have not been tapped before ... [Salewicz] invades and illuminates Marley's privacy more effectively than previous biographers.'---Robert Sandall, The Sunday Times (London) 'Chris Salewicz's obvious knowledge ... delivers the bulk of this literary epitaph on the rasta man. Those insights help the tome along at a reggae beat and, to Salewicz's credit, the reportage is evenly balanced between pro and con, making this an enjoyable, if at times disturbing, read ... Whatever we know of Bob Marley's life will always remain open to conjecture, but at the very least in Salewicz's biography, we can take a step closer to what went on behind closed doors, in between the pleasure and pain. For Marley/reggae fans, this work will probably stand the test, whereas for the uninitiated, it will serve as a meaty introduction to the `legend' of Trench Town.'---Teri Louise Kelly, The Independent Weekly (Australia) What was it about Bob Marley that made him so popular in a world dominated by rock `n' roll? How is it that he not only has remained the single most successful reggae artist ever, but also has become a shining beacon of radicalism and peace to generation after generation of fans? The man who introduced reggae to a worldwide audience, Marley was a hero figure in the classic, mythological sense. From immensely humble beginnings, with talent and religious belief his only weapons, the Jamaican recording artist applied himself with unstinting perseverance to spreading his prophetic musical message across the globe. In 1980, on tour, Bob Marley and the Wallers played to the largest audiences a musical act had ever experienced in Europe. Less than a year later, Marley would die, only thirty-six years old. Sales of Marley's albums before his death were spectacular; in the years since he died, they have been phenomenal. Chris Salewicz, the bestselling author of Redemption Song, the classic biography of Joe Strummer, interviewed Bob Marley in Jamaica in 1979. Now, for the first time, in this thorough, detailed account of Marley's life and the world in which he grew up and which he came to dominate, Salewicz brings to life not only the Rastafari religion and the musical scene in Jamaica, but also the spirit of the man himself. Interviews with dozens of people who knew Marley and have never spoken before are woven through the narrative as Salewicz seeks to explain why Marley has become such an enigmatic and heroic figure, loved by millions all over the world. € 22,30

![]() ![]() Author: Salewicz Chris Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux The Clash was--and still is--one of the most important groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Indebted to rockabilly, reggae, Memphis soul, cowboy justice, and '60s protest, the overtly political band railed against war, racism, and a dead-end economy, and in the process imparted a conscience to punk. Their eponymous first record and London Calling still rank in Rolling Stone's top-ten best albums of all time, and in 2003 they were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joe Strummer was the Clash's front man, a rock-and-roll hero seen by many as the personification of outlaw integrity and street cool. The political heart of the Clash, Strummer synthesized gritty toughness and poetic sensitivity in a manner that still resonates with listeners, and his untimely death in December 2002 shook the world, further solidifying his iconic status. Music journalist Chris Salewicz was a friend to Strummer for close to three decades and has covered the Clash's career and the entire punk movement from its inception. With exclusive access to Strummer's friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, Salewicz penetrates the soul of an icon. He uses his vantage point to write the definitive biography of Strummer, charting his enormous worldwide success, his bleak years in the wilderness after the Clash's bitter breakup, and his triumphant return to stardom at the end of his life. In the process, Salewicz argues for Strummer's place in a long line of protest singers that includes Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, and Bob Marley, and examines by turns Strummer's and punk's ongoing cultural influence. € 25,20

![]() ![]() Author: Salewicz Chris; Boot Adrian Publisher: Arcana Il reggae, una miscela di folk caraibico, rock'n'soul americano, culto rastafariano e politica è molto più che un genere musicale. Il ritmo della Giamaica ha cambiato in modo irreversibile il significato della popular music in tutto il mondo, un risultato incredibile se si pensa alle dimensioni di quest'isola caraibica che conta appena tre milioni di abitanti. Forte della sua popolarità e della figura chiave di Bob Marley, il reggae oggi ha un seguito enorme tra pubblici delle nazionalità più disparate. Il volume ripercorre questa storia con più di quattrocento fotografie e illustrazioni, catturando le contraddizioni che caratterizzano la terra in cui è nato: la povertà, i conflitti sociali, la profonda spiritualità e l'energia. € 35,00
