The Jazz Image: Masters Of Jazz Photography Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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. 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.

this is the kind of Book that truly showcases some of the Greatest Jazz Artists Ever. Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis,Louis Armstrong, amongest others. it is great to see so many Important musical figures in the Moment where Creativity is coming about. this is a Must have collection.
If you grew up listening to jazz from the 30's through the 60's you'll really enjoy the pictures in this book. They evoke a feeling and, in most cases, present the players as "bigger than life"...just as they were to us then and now.
Wonderful "coffee table" book, loaded with excellent candid photos of the greatest jazz stars -- definitely a keeper!
Loved the imagery contained in the book. A beautiful book that can transform you back to this really great era of music. A wonderful table book. If you love Jazz and its history, you will love this book.
Great book for someone who is serious about music. The images are beautifully presented and nicely spaced. I want to give this book to any of my other musician friends.
Hello,Any glimpse into the past is a treasure to me being a Jazz Fan. It is kind of sad that that genre of Music is no longer held to a high regard. After all it is the basis of all "improvisation".
This book is an excellent pictorial of Jazz through the years. The photographers capture the true essence of Jazz with candid, serious and fun photos of many of the pioneers of the Jazz Era. The black and white images are awesome and speak to the visual history of Jazz. Absolutely loved the book, so much so that I brought 2 as Christmas gifts.
