Sergio Toppi, who passed away in 2012, is part of the Pratt, Crepax and Battaglia generation that profoundly changed the landscape of European comics. For this magnificent volume of the BD Music collection, the Milanese artist's work is coupled with music, notably from the mad years of the Roaring Twenties, an era synonymous with growth and recklessness. It was an era that saw people go crazy for the Charleston, the Black Bottom and the Lindy Hop (dances). It was also the era of Louis Armstrong, King Oliver and Sidney Bechet. A modern aesthetic of American songwriting was born out of this period, expressing everything one wanted to say about man, woman or love, without ever daring to say it. In short, the songs free speech! A speech that willingly uses derision and irony. The woman is mischievous and rebellious, the man, in turn, is an object of desire or the worst of nasty men. This abundance of themes feeds into all the songs that portray Toppi's Ladies. Here the forgotten women of the twenties such as Annette Hanshaw, Mildred Bailey and Connie Boswell rub shoulders with the stars of the fifties and sixties: Nina Simone, Chris Connor, Anita O'Day, Julie London or Sarah Vaughan. © Clotilde Maréchal/Qobuz
