Hello Jazz friends!

This is my first post in this forum and I thought I'd give it a try :)

I'm looking for the title of a jazz photography book that I saw some examples in a magazine from an airline trip to France. I just completely forgot the title and photographer. Apparently this was a famous jazz jazz book by the same photographer. It was not the usual bandstand photos but more unusual settings.

Here is what I remember: 1. A great photo of my hero Donald Byrd playing trumpet in a subway car in NY.

2. A picture from Newport jazz festival. Some drummer is playing (solo) in the background. Some people are dancing (?) in the foreground.

OK that´s it!

I would be ever so grateful for some help. I am hooked up on amazon and eBay so they could be buying options (or private paypal)for that matter. But first I need to know what that darn book is ;-)

Hello friends!

Well I got it finally from Amazon UK. £70+£5 shipping makes it a pretty good deal I think!

Anyway I have just skimmed it through since it will be my birthday present to myself in january :D

It looks wonderful to say the least :lol: Have not heard the CD.

The only potential problem is where to put this giant "thing". Book shelf - na don't think so.....coffe table - where shall I put my coffe??

Anyway I do not think anyone could go wrong with this book.
