Publisher's Synopsis
Gijsbert Hanekroot’s photographic memoir captures the style and the mood of the 70s rock scene, giving an up-close-and personal connection with great names from the Rolling Stones to Miles Davies from Leonard Cohen to Bob Marley. These are rare photographs of the personalities that defined the 70s and marked an artistic expansion, a musical eruption. Many of the artistes are still alive and rocking, notable exceptions have passed away. In either case this is a fantastic homage to the way things really were nearly 50 years ago, The roving eye of the camera and the natural lighting in which most of the photographs were taken, outside studio conditions, give the reader a feeling of being there; a living witness to the emergence of some of the most important musicians of the modern era. Hanekroot’s photographs appear in many of the most important biographies of the modern era; this astonishing compilation is an essential addition to the library of any classic rock enthusiast or collector.
