Educado para convertirse en artista -escuela de arte, pintura, pop-art-, BRYAN FERRY creo en 1972 Roxy Music, banda culta de vanguardia provocadora, cuya audacia musical marcó el inicio de una aventura sofisticada y equilibradamente excéntrica en el seno del rock. Poeta trascendental de lo anodino, exquisito y elegante, innovador clásico y esteta decadente, mago de palabras y pigmalión de textura hedonista, BRYAN FERRY disolvió Roxy Music tras la grabación del álbum «Avalon», para sucumbir definitivamente a la tentación del «crooner» más ecléctico. Este libro recoge una selección de temas que abarca toda la discografía de Roxy Music, así como la obra competa de BRYAN FERRY en solitario.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry, born on September 26, 1945 in Washington, England, is one of the most iconic and elegant singer, songwriter, and producers in British music. As the frontman of the band Roxy Music and through his solo career, Ferry has established himself as a central figure in glam rock, art rock and sophisticated pop music.

Ferry began to gain notoriety in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist and songwriter of Roxy Music. Formed in 1970, the band was known for its distinctive visual style and innovative sound that blended rock, glam, art rock, and electronic music. The self-titled debut album, "Roxy Music," was released in 1972 and was followed by a string of acclaimed albums such as "For Your Pleasure" (1973), "Stranded" (1973), and "Country Life" (1974). Songs like "Virginia Plain," "Do the Strand" and "Love Is the Drug" helped define the band's unique sound.

In parallel with his work with Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry began a successful solo career. His debut solo album, "These Foolish Things," was released in 1973 and included covers of rock and pop classics. Ferry continued to alternate between working with the band and his solo career throughout the '70s and '80s.

One of the highlights of Ferry's career with Roxy Music came with the release of "Avalon" in 1982. The album was a commercial and critical success, notable for tracks such as "More Than This," "Avalon" and "Take a Chance with Me." "Avalon" was widely praised for its sophisticated production and elegant atmosphere, cementing the band's status in rock history.

After the dissolution of Roxy Music in 1983, Ferry concentrated on his solo career. Albums such as "Boys and Girls" (1985), which included the hit "Slave to Love," and "Bête Noire" (1987) showed his continued ability to innovate and create captivating and stylistically refined music.

In the '90s and 2000s, Ferry continued to release solo albums that explored a variety of musical styles, from rock to jazz. "Mamouna" (1994) and "Frantic" (2002) were well received by critics and showed his ability to evolve while maintaining his unique sound signature.

In 2001, Roxy Music reunited for a successful world tour, reigniting interest in the band and Ferry's music. The reunion culminated in several tours and live recordings, celebrating the band's enduring legacy.

Bryan Ferry is also known for his sophisticated and elegant personal style, which is reflected in both his music and his appearance. Their influence extends beyond music, having a significant impact on fashion and pop culture.

Throughout his career, Ferry has received numerous awards and honors, including the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to music. He is often cited as one of the most influential figures in rock and sophisticated pop music.

In 2012, he released the album "The Jazz Age" with the Bryan Ferry Orchestra, reinterpreting songs from Roxy Music and his solo career in jazz style from the 20s. In 2014, he released "Avonmore," which included collaborations with artists such as Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers, and Flea.

Bryan Ferry continues to perform and record, maintaining his reputation as one of music's most distinguished and respected artists. With a legacy spanning several decades and an influence that spans multiple generations of musicians and fans, Ferry secures his place as a living legend of music.
