Jazz image. |
| Резюме: |
Typically, a photograph of a jazz musician has several formal pre-requisites: black and white film, an urban setting in the mid-twentieth century, and a black man standing, playing, or sitting next to his instrument. This book reveals how such a steadfast script developed visually and what this convention meant for the music. Herman Leonard's photographic depictions of African American jazz musicians in New York not only created a visual template of a black musician of the 1950s, but also became the standard configuration of the music's neo-classical sound today. |
