The Jazz Pictures

From Publisher:

Over twenty years ago, Carol Friedman began photographing the era's legendary jazz musicians. Believing that musical personality transcended performance, Friedman did not make her pictures while the music was being played. The resulting images do indeed capture the music -- as well as portray the idiosyncratic charm and personal style that have always been the hallmark of jazz men and women.

This collection offers a generous assemblage of these photographs. Shot in black and white, and reproduced in beautiful duotones, these elegant images make evident the photographer's admiration for -- and keen attention to -- her subjects and the musical form of jazz itself. Whether photographed in studio settings or jazz club dressing rooms, the images reveal a side of these gifted individuals that has seldom been seen.

Included in this collection are portraits of Sarah Vaughan, Ornette Coleman, Wynton Marsalis, Chet Baker, Abbey Lincoln, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Eubie Blake, Stan Getz, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Randy Weston, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Gil Evans, Shirley Horn, Gerry Mulligan, and Joe Williams, among many others.
