Beautiful B&W photos of jazz musicians. Iconic photos of Chet Baker. Many photos of musicians now forgotten. The detail, the settings!

This is not the Tashen edition! This is the original Twelvetress Press edition. Remarkable design that brings out the sensuality of William Claxton's images of jazz players and the jazz world. Beautiful twilight world where style is extremely essential. Chet Baker loved the camera or the camera loved him. Without a doubt Claxton's camera had an affair with him. Intimate, sexy as well, and smart. Must-have for those must have-it.

Hands down my favorite book of photography (well, until Philip Buehler's book comes out anyway). Wonderful imagery of an age I wish I could have seen firsthand.
