In 1960, photographer William Claxton and noted musicologist
Joachim Berendt traveled the United States hot on the trail of
jazz. Through music halls and marching bands, side streets and
subways, they sought to document this living, breathing, beating
musical phenomenon that enraptured America across social, economic,
and racial lines. The result of Claxton and Berendt's collaboration
was Jazzlife, much sought after by collectors and now revived in
this fresh TASCHEN volume. From coast to coast, from unknown street
performers to legends of the genre, this defining jazz journey
explores just what made up this most original of American art
forms. In New Orleans and New York, in St. Louis, Biloxi, Jackson,
and beyond, Claxton's rapturous yet tender images and accompanying
texts examine jazz's regional diversity as much as its pervasive
vitality and soul. They show the music makers and the many spaces
and people this music touched, from funeral parades to concert
stages, from an elderly trumpet player to kids who hung from
windows to catch a glimpse of a passing band. With images of
Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, Gabor
Szabo, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald,
Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and
many more, this is as much a compelling slice of history as it is a
loving personal tribute.
