Throughout Les McCann s incredible jazz career, he took hundreds of
photos at clubs, studios, and festivals around the world and
documented the vibrant cultural life of jazz and soul between 1960
and 1980. These photos include a very young Stevie Wonder, Nina
Simone, Sammy Davis Jr., John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Nancy
Wilson, Richard Pryor, Quincy Jones, Tina Turner, Miles Davis,
Cannonball Adderly, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, B.B. King, Errol
Garner, Stanley Clarke, Bill Evans, Lionel Hampton, and other black
celebrities, such as Bill Cosby, Muhammed Ali, and Stokely
Carmichael to name but a few. These photos are characterized by
their intimacy, and the cross-section of names listed is merely the
tip of the iceberg. The book features candid commentary by McCann
himself and is curated by Pat Thomas (Listen, Whitey : The Sights
and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975) and maverick music producer
Alan Abrahams (Pure Prairie League, Joan Baez, Stanley Turrentine,
Kris Kristofferson, Taj Mahal)."
