The Beatles racing across Candlestick Park at the end of their final public performance; Johnny Cash pausing to give the camera a middle finger salute before playing for inmates in San Quentin; a weary Janis Joplin backstage, keeping a whisky bottle company. Jim Marshall captured each of these iconic images with his camera. In Jim Marshall: Proof, the renowned photographer shares his contact sheets from the sittings, concerts, and sessions that surround his most famous pictures. A rare glimpse into a great photographer's creative process, Proof provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making of some of the most preeminent images of our time. But Marshall's lens was not always fixed on the giants of rock. Jim Marshall: Jazz presents an unexpected trove of intimate portraits of the jazz greats that are as wonderful as his legendary work with rock musicians. This portfolio of Marshall's favorite shots shows the classics of jazz onstage, backstage, in the studio—and also in their kitchens and living rooms. Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins—Marshall's images capture these faces and many, many more in authentic and unguarded moments. By turns illuminating and haunting, Jazz confirms his place as one of the great portrait photographers. Filled with Marshall's reminiscences in his own words, this classic gift set is a must-have for music and photography aficionados.
