Jim Marshall: Jazz Festival

Thelonious Monk is one of the many great musicians captured in Reel Art Press' stupendous new collection of Jim Marshall's candid Jazz Festival photos from the 1960s. From Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis, Nina Simone to Joan Baez, this book is an absolute Bible of the integrated avant-garde festival scene—with plenty of texture added via pictures of the artists, hipsters, music geeks and poets who were there to share. President Bill Clinton contributes the Foreword, Nat Hentoff the Introduction. Other texts are by Graham Marsh and Dave Brolan, who begins, "Cameras and cars, guns and knives, whisky and women, musicians and music, always music."
