(Book). Haunting the recording studios; jam sessions; concert halls; and nightclubs of New York City; William "PoPsie" Randolph chronicled the postwar transformation of American music from swing and jazz; to rhythm blues and rock n roll. The 100;000 negatives left behind after his death in 1978 span the giddy; glitzy heyday of swing in the 1940s; the hot and cool jazz spawned in the clubs of 52nd Street; the rumbling emergence of black RB and doo-wop; the sudden explosion of rock n roll in the late 50s; the rise of Brill Building pop and the British Invasion of the 60s; and the growth of rock into a multibillion-dollar industry by the 70s. PoPsies son Michael has chosen the very best of his fathers collection for inclusion in this remarkable book. Here readers will find luscious black-and-white photos of everyone from Benny Goodman and Billie Holiday to Elvis; The Beatles; Hendrix; and the Rolling Stones. Insightful text explains the time; people; and place of each captured moment.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. it doesnt worth the costBy C. MugnaiThis is a bad copy of a delightful book of the early 1960s.The original was in color with examples of the described origami pasted to pages; classical and simple origami suitable for children.This seems to be a black and white print of bad scans of the original; the illustrations are shrinked and lose meaning without the applied models; the diagrams are badly cleaned and you see them pixelated.Highly NOT recommended!Anything else for the original; if you can find it at an acceptable price; still enjoyable in its naivety and grace.
