For music and photography lovers...
An unprecedented collection of jazz photographs.
Iconic explosive and intimate.
Captures jazz legends and provides an enduring visual history
of this musical life force.
|
The great improvisational American
jazz musicians of the mid-20th century inspired a generation of
photographers to develop a looser, moodier style of visual expression.
That evocative approach is on striking display in The
Jazz Image: Masters of Jazz Photography. Covering
six decades of performers —from Louis Armstrong and Duke
Ellington to John Coltrane and Miles Davis—this unique collection
is as much a comprehensive catalogue of jazz greats as it is a
salute to the photographers who captured them.
Lee Tanner, a leading authority on jazz photography, has selected
works—by such noted jazz photographers as Herman Leonard,
Bob Willoughby, Milt Hinton, and Bill Claxton—that are iconic,
candid, explosive, and intimate. They provide a simultaneous look
at jazz, photography, and America from 1935 into the 1990s.
