British Sound Chronicles - Volume 1: Anni '50
Skiffle, blues, rock'n'roll e armonie vocali: le radici della rivoluzione sonora britannica
a cura di Anton G. R. C. Thiene
La musica britannica non è nata nei grandi stadi, ma nei retrobottega affollati di fumo, nelle sale da tè, nei pub del dopoguerra e nelle radio pirata.
Il primo volume di British Sound Chronicles è un viaggio alle origini. Gli anni Cinquanta sono il punto di partenza di una rivoluzione che cambierà per sempre la storia della musica. In un'epoca ancora segnata dalle cicatrici della guerra, un'onda di suoni nuovi - venuti dall'America - travolge le isole britanniche e prende una forma tutta sua: più ruvida, più istintiva, più popolare.
Questo libro racconta le radici sonore del Regno Unito:
Lo skiffle di Lonnie Donegan e Ken Colyer, fatto con strumenti di fortuna e una voglia matta di ribellarsi;
Il rock'n'roll britannico di Cliff Richard, Tony Crombie, Johnny Kidd, Terry Dene e Vince Taylor, che accende i jukebox e fa ballare un'intera generazione;
Le armonie vocali raffinate dei Dallas Boys, delle Kestrels e degli Stargazers, che preparano il terreno a ciò che arriverà dopo.
Tra gruppi famosi e band dimenticate, ogni scheda approfondisce i protagonisti con uno stile narrativo coinvolgente e documentato, ricco di curiosità , contesto storico, discografie essenziali e analisi musicali.
Un volume dedicato a chi vuole scoprire da dove tutto è cominciato.
Perché senza gli anni Cinquanta, non ci sarebbero stati i Beatles.
E senza quella scintilla iniziale, non ci sarebbe stato fuoco.
Contiene schede dedicate a:
Lonnie Donegan and His Skiffle Group, Ken Colyer Skiffle Group, The Vipers Skiffle Group, Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group, City Ramblers, The Worried Men Skiffle Group, The Quarrymen, Tony Crombie and His Rockets, Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Vince Taylor & The Playboys, Terry Dene & The Dene Aces, John Barry Seven, The Dallas Boys, The Kestrels, The Most Brothers, The Five Chesternuts, The Typhoons, The Avengers, The Stargazers.
