Music and photography have always shared a special relationship – when an iconic musician is captured by a first-rate photographer, the resulting image is often transformative and a classic, pop culture image is born.
'Music Box' gathers more than 450 such legendary photographers of musicians, covering the stars of jazz, blues, rock and roll, soul, and all of their contemporary offshoots.
The photographs are arranged in themes that look at the music scene from a witty and fresh perspective, collecting photographs such as Philippe Halsman’s seminal portrait of Louis Armstrong, Jim Marshall’s vision of Jimi Hendrix kneeling over his burning guitar, Annie Leibovitz’s shot of Bruce Springsteen leaping in front of the American flag, Chester Higgins Jr’s soulful 50 Cent, and many more.
The book is designed with flaps folding over the pages with magnetcic fastenings to create a 'box' effect.
