At Wax Poetics, we put music in context. Closing the noticeable gap in music journalism between coverage of contemporary artists and celebration of classic trailblazers, we provide extensive commentary on the dynamic relationship between past and present to educate today’s ears about the origins of their favorite music. What we started in December 2001 as a quarterly magazine, both classic and fresh, has grown into a diversified music media resource for music aficionados and general listeners alike. From our signature approach to print media to our giant steps into new media and the recording industry, we strive to revolutionize the way we educate ourselves about music.
Wax Poetics magazine makes the perfect stepping-stone for the endless possibilities of Wax Poetics media outlets. The strength of our name relies on a passion for quality music and the history that contextualizes it.
In this issue:
The Issue features the ringers who propelled the hits of Steely Dan; disco’s original lighting techs; Brazilian jazz vocalist Flora Purim; rap percussionist Poochie Costello; working-class heroes Roxy Music; free-jazz trumpeter Don Cherry; the Casiotone and dancehall’s digital revolution; and music’s long-standing relationship with the drum machine; plus, Jean Carne, El-P, Durand Jones, Chris Jasper, and Bobbito.
