The Brooklyn magazine
Wax Poetics has established itself as the consummate archival publication for the roots of soul, funk, hip-hop, jazz, Latin, and the like. Detailed histories, revealing interviews, and gorgeous vintage photography are rendered with the kind of reverence reserved for the obsessive music lover. This anthology collects the best material from the magazine's first five issues (2001-2003) in a beautifully presented hardcover volume. With Wax Poetics' popularity slowly increasing over the last few years, this is the perfect way to catch up on the origins of an excellent read.
