Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. A very good overview of the Apollo Theater and how it influenced popular culture for decades, with just the right mix of cultural history, background about the stars who played the stage, and the business side of the theatre. ( ) The artwork really leaves something to be desired and the narrative is confusing. DNF because I have a stack of less annoying books to read and this just isn't interesting enough. (Irrelevant side note: the blurbs on the back cover all relate to the Apollo itself and not the book onto which they have been emblazoned.) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Writer Ted Fox and artist James Otis Smith bring to life Harlem's legendary theater in this graphic novel adaptation of Fox's definitive, critically acclaimed history of the Apollo. Since its inception as an African-American theater in 1934, the Apollo, and the thousands of entertainers who performed there, have led the way in the presentation of swing, bebop, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, soul, funk and hip-hop-along with the latest in dance and comedy. The Apollo has nurtured and featured thousands of artists, many of whom have become legends. The beauty they have given the world-their art-transcends the hatred, ignorance, and intolerance that often made their lives difficult. Today, the Apollo enjoys an almost mythical status. With its breathtaking art, this graphic novel adaptation of Showtime at the Apollo brings to life the theater's legendary significance in music history, African American history, and to the culture of New York City." -- Publisher's description No library descriptions found. |
