- Summary:
- "One of the leading social documentary photographers of the 1960s, Steve Schapiro's images stand among the most important of the 20th century, covering Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr, James Baldwin and man others. These largely unknown jazz photos--shot just before his career breakthrough--showcase his early mastery and his empathy for his subjects, making Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions an essential archive. In the early '60s, when Schapiro arrived on the scene, New York jazz was enjoying a golden age. A young freelance photographer who had grown up in the Bronx and somehow snagged a gig with Riverside Records, he began voraciously documenting shows, players, venues, recording sessions and gatherings, both in his native New York and later in Chicago. Whether it's Sonny Rollins lifting weights backstage, or Bobby Timmons lost in an instant of discovery at the piano, Schapiro was on their wavelength. Written by US jazz journalist Richard Scheinin, Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions features scores of never-before-seen photos of jazz legends like Cannonball Adderley, Melba Liston, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Count Basie and more" -- Back cover.
