Title: Jazz in NY - Jazz Katz
Description: , jazzprezzo, 2007. 191, 33,2 x 29,8 x 2,2 cm, Hardcover. Zustand: 2. Jimmy Katz' erste Jazz-Buchveröffentlichung bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in dessen umfangreiches Archiv und präsentiert bislang meist unveröffentlichte Fotos von Musikern wie Ornette Coleman, Joe Lovano, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Roy Haynes, Wynton Marsalis, Lee Konitz, Dave Brubeck, Cassandra Wilson, Ray Charles, Sting u.a. Die Fotos entstanden bei Aufnahmesessions in New Yorker Tonstudios, in Jazz-Clubs oder im privaten Umfeld der Musiker. Blue-Note-Produzent Michael Cuscuna reiht Jimmy Katz in die Galerie der Fotografenlegenden Francis Wolff, Herman Leonard, William Gottlieb und William Claxton ein. Jimmy Katz is the true Successor of Francis Wolff, not because of his connection with Blue Note, but due to his combination of technique and empathy with the artists. His "artists at home" are showing another sincere side of them. I had the opportunity to attend a lecture delivered by Jimmy Katz and his wife Dena on their work with the last American sideshow. They showed a brief movie clip of his prior work in jazz to describe their philosophy in working with a camera and portraiture. Being both an avid photographer and listener of jazz, I was immediately captivated by the composition of the portraits and the energy they convey. I also had a great technical appreciation for the challenges of achieving this type of photographic excellence under the conditions with large and medium format photography. I had some time to speak with Jimmy after the lecture and asked him which titles I might look for with his jazz portraiture work and he told me said that the prints in Jazz Katz was his one of his best books although rare and difficult to find. I was lucky enough to track down a used copy, and while a few pages are speckled with what look like some kind of ink residues, the detract from the images themselves. If you are a fan or jazz music or enjoy portraiture, do yourself a favor and look for a used copy of this to add to your library. The portraits are a collection of jazz's icons with an incredible energy. Prices for this book even used can be steep, but if you can find yourself a copy for a reasonable price, you'll want to take advantage of it.Sprache englisch; deutsch Masse 330 x 300 mm Gewicht 2010 g Literatur Biografien Erfahrungsberichte Kunst Musik Theater Musiker Fotografen/-innen Fotografinnen Galerie Umtrieb Kiel Jazz Bildband Jazzfotografie Katz, Jimmy New York Music ISBN-10 3-9810250-4-0 / 3981025040 ISBN-13 978-3-9810250-4-0 / 9783981025040 ISBN: 3981025040.
