sheldonm Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Is that book still available? Gotta get me that book! I still see Jazz Seen around though don't know if it's officially in or out of print. Jazz Life is amazing and huge....and a little spendy but worth it! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Is that book still available? Gotta get me that book! 'Jazz seen' seems to be out of print in the US - the German paperback edition is available used at amazon.de, but oop as well - Taschen placed a nice obituary on their website; only Jazz Life is still available from them.

But "jazz life" (including the 1500 $ edition !) is available on Amazon.com Sorry to hear the news about Bill Claxton - Channel 4 news tonight over here had a nice little tribute to him, wish I could have recorded it. Just dug out my copy of 'Jazz Seen' - bought direct from Bill and signed by him in 1999. He was a very nice guy as I recall, a delight to meet, very un-pretentious. RIP.
