Music and photography have always shared a special relationship – when an iconic musician is portrayed by a first-rate photographer, the resulting image is often transformative and transcendent, and a classic pop culture image is born. Now, in the same popular and affordable format as Thames & Hudson’s PhotoBox and FashionBox, MusicBox gathers more than 450 such legendary photographs of musicians, covering the stars of jazz, blues, rock and roll, soul, and all of their contemporary offshoots. This is an amazing collection of memorable photographs in an irresistible package.
