This is an amazing book and CD package due to come out in Jan 07. It is a reissue from William Claxton's book called Jazzlife. Taschen began reassembling this collection in 2003, with never-been-seen color images from those trips.
There will only be 1,000 copies, each of the individually signed by the photographer William Claxton. In the 60's, legendary photographer William Claxton and noted German Musicologist Jochim Berendt travelled the US together. The result...a fantastic collection of photographs and recordings of artists, some legends and some musicians that are unknown.
If you loved what Claxton did with Steve McQueen, then you will love this book. His photographs of Chet Baker are much like the way he did McQueen, like a close personal friend.
This book is $1250, but it comes with four ultrachrome prints that have been signed...not bad for William Claxton original prints. You can purchase this on taschen.com.
