‘Jazz Festival’ book


An added exclusive feature of this set is the Jim Marshall: ‘Jazz Festival’ book published by Reel Art Press featuring a special dust cover. The book is numbered and estate embossed and consists of Jim Marshall’s jazz festival photographs from the 1960’s, published for the first time. Over 95 percent of the material in this breathtaking coffee table volume has never been seen before. Marshall’s remarkable photographs of the festivals at Newport and Monterey immortalize the unique energy and soul of these celebrations of jazz. This immersive body of work feels like experiencing the atmosphere of those summer days first hand. Marshall’s inimitable lens captured the crowd, the fashion, the performances and the unguarded moments with jazz icons like Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie and many more. The book features a foreword by President Bill Clinton, and an introduction by legendary jazz writer and historian Nat Hentoff, who places the jazz festivals in the larger context of the civil rights movement in America at the time.

Jim Marshall’s photographs are in private and museum collections around the world. To learn more about Jim Marshall, visit www.jimmarshallphotographyllc.com.
