Description

The Black Chord Photographs by David Corio A re-edition and re-invention of a 1999 volume, this collection features graphically improved portraits alongside the original text. The line-up of brilliance remains unchanged, with quotes taken from interviews conducted as a music journalist in the mid-1970s British rock press or specifically for The Black Chord. The photographs showcase an eclectic pan-Black aesthetic, reflecting a love of soul, jazz, hip hop, R'n'B, and music from Africa. This collection contextualizes every artist featured, including those whose luster has been tarnished by scandal. A personal connection between the author and David Corio is revealed through their shared cultural formation in the London media and arts scene of the 1970s and '80s. The book offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these artists, as seen through the lens of David Corio's magnificent portrait gallery.
