Jazzlife (Multilingual Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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 Berendts 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  Claxtons rapturous yet tender images and accompanying texts examine jazzs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666171453493,"sku":"ByrdShop_3836542935","price":113.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783836542937.jpg?v=1782421546","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/william-claxton-jazzlife-multilingual-edition-9783836542937","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
