A era dos festivais
O jornalista e crítico Zuza Homem de Mello conta a história e os bastidores dos principais festivais de música brasileira entre 1960 e 1972 - eventos que revelaram os maiores nomes da MPB, como Elis Regina, Nara Leão, Caetano, Gil e Chico Buarque, entre muitos outros. Testemunha ocular dos fatos, o autor aborda também os embates entre política e estética, acirrados a partir do golpe militar de 1964.
Eis aqui os bossa-nova
O livro traz a biografia oral do movimento Bossa Nova, tecida pelo crítico e historiador Zuza Homem de Mello. Testemunha ocular e auditiva de todos os passos decisivos que nossa música popular deu nas últimas seis décadas, Zuza escreveu a primeira versão de 'Eis aqui os bossa-nova' em 1976. A obra logo se transformaria numa raridade bibliográfica. Estava tudo lá: da gênese do movimento à entrada em cena de Caetano Veloso & cia. Passados 32 anos, Zuza Homem de Mello remontou todos os depoimentos recolhidos entre 1967 e 1971, acrescentou detalhes esclarecedores e enriqueceu a obra com novas reminiscências. O livro traz depoimentos de 27 grandes nomes da música popular brasileira. Entre eles, estão: Tom Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Carlos Lyra, Chico Buarque, Elis Regina, Gilberto Gil, Nara Leão, Johnny Alf, Roberto Menescal e Vinicius de Moraes.

Copacabana
O livro revela o contexto socioeconômico e cultural no qual foi engendrado o samba-canção, entre o final das décadas de 1920 e 1950, um período de transição que culminaria com o surgimento da bossa-nova. Copacabana concentrava a efervescência artístico-musical da época, contando com a presença de intérpretes, músicos, compositores e produtores musicais que acenavam ao público com um tipo de canção que reunia qualidade musical e boa recepção da audiência. Destacam-se nesse período músicos como Noel Rosa, Dorival Caymmi, Radamés Gnatalli e Tom Jobim.
Is That All There Is?
"A biography of singer Peggy Lee"--
The Defence of Tradition in Brazilian Popular Music
Sean Stroud examines how and why Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) has come to have such a high status, and why the musical tradition (including MPB) within Brazil has been defended with such vigour for so long. He emphasizes the importance of musical nationalism as an underlying ideology to discussions about Brazilian popular music since the 1920s, and the key debate on so-called 'cultural invasion' in Brazil. The roles of those responsible for the construction of the idea of MPB are examined in detail. Stroud analyses the increasingly close relationship that has developed between television and popular music in Brazil with particular reference to the post-1972 televised song festivals. He g...
The Brazilian Sound
At the second International Song Festival in 1967, Milton Nascimento had three songs accepted for competition. He had no intention of performing them--he hated the idea of intense competition. In fact, Nascimento might never have appeared at all if Eumir Deodato hadn't threatened not to write the arrangements for his songs if he didn't perform at least two of them. Nascimento went on to win the festival's best performer award, all three of his songs were included soon afterward on his first album, and the rest is history. This is only one anecdote from The Brazilian Sound, an encyclopedic survey of Brazilian popular music that ranges over samba, bossa nova, MPB, jazz and instrumental music a...
Brazilian Popular Music
Brazilian Popular Music, or M‘sica Popular Brasileira (MPB), developed in the mid 1960s as a response to the re-thinking of Brazilian national identity following the establishment of the post-1964 military regime. A leading figure in MPB at this time was Caetano Veloso, and it is his music and its reception that form the focus of this book. A leader of the Tropicalist movement, Veloso sought to initiate a critical debate on Brazilian Popular Music and the political and ideological foundations which underpinned its aesthetic. Lorraine Leu examines Veloso's musical and vocal styles, revealing the ways in which they play with traditional expectations between the performer and listener, and argues that they represent an important response to the severe censorship and repression of the military regime.
Deep in a Dream
This first major biography of the most romanticized icon in jazz thrillingly recounts his wild ride. From his emergence in the 1950s--when an uncannily beautiful young man from Oklahoma appeard on the West Coast to become, seemingly overnight, the prince of "cool" jazz--until his violent, drug-related death in Amsterdam in 1988, Chet Baker lived a life that has become an American myth. Here, drawing on hundreds of interviews and previously untapped sources, James Gavin gives a hair-raising account of the trumpeter's dark journey.
Walter Wanderley
This book is characterized as the result of an ethnomusicological and historical research by Recife musician Walter Wanderley (1932-1986), known as a representative of Bossa Nova. Organist, pianist, arranger and sporadic composer, Walter Wanderley has released dozens of records on record labels such as Odeon, Philips, the American company Verve and many others, both as an instrumentalist and arranger for singers and as solo instrumental albums. Even with such a robust record production, Walter Wanderley seems to have been forgotten by most records in the History of Brazilian Popular Music. This book tries to help understand how this success happened predominantly only outside his country of ...
