Description
Since the 1950s, Herman Leonard's photographs of jazz musicians have helped shape the image of the music and the world in which it was created. Leonard took his camera into the smoky clubs and after-hours sessions, to backstage parties and musicians' apartments, to build an incomparable visual record of one of the 20th century's most significant art forms. For this definitive collection, Leonard has retrieved scores of previously unseen photographs, published here for the first time, alongside his most famous and widely recognized images of Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and many others. An accompanying essay explores the stories behind the pictures, and an interview with Leonard reveals many of his techniques.
"There have been many great jazz photographers but none more accomplished than Herman Leonard. In a celebrated career that began in the late 1940s, Mr. Leonard … is responsible for some of [the] defining images [of jazz]."—NYTimes

This piece, Bird on Wing, was photographed in Newport Beach. The image of light pouring down on an illuminated bird represents hope. But if you look carefully, you will see another bird’s outstretched wing just beneath. We are always supported by others, visible and invisible. No one is alone.

Signed by jazz singers Annie Ross and the legendary Jon Hendricks! As new copy, now in protective mylar.
London 2001 Phaidon, 10: X 14”, 208PP, 196 B/W photographs, largely of jazz musicians at work. Designed by Julia Hasting. DeCarava is one of the most prominent of jazz photographers, best know for illustrating Langston Hughes’ Book “Sweet Flypaper of Life.” These jazz photos were among his best work. Boldly signed and inscribed by Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross of 50’s and 60’s jazz vocal group “Lambert, Hendricks and Ross”.
This is the long-awaited publication of a moving masterwork by one of the greatest photographers of our time. Conceived, designed, written and made by hand as a prototype by master photographer Roy DeCarava (b.1919) in the early 1960s, yet unpublished for nearly half a century, The Sound I Saw has largely existed as a legend among the cognoscenti of the photography world. Presented as a stream of 196 soulful images interspersed with DeCarava's own evocative poetry, the book is, in its form and effect, the printed equivalent of jazz. "This is a book about people, about jazz, and about things. The work between its covers tries to present images for the head and for the heart and, like its subject matter, is particular, subjective, and individual," writes the author. DeCarava is a life-long New Yorker who from his immediate world creates images that transcend the specific to depict universal themes of joy, anticipation, pain and survival. Largely unpublished, he was first recognized for his images of daily life in Harlem (the subject of The Sweet Flypaper of Life, his 1955 collaboration with Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes) and portraits of musicians like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday. It is these two themes, Harlem and jazz, interwoven and inseparable, that are the ostensible subject of the book. However, the seemingly casual yet deeply felt compositions and the deep, rich tones of DeCarava's photographs stir emotions that resonate far beyond one neighborhood and one era.

“Who am I? I was a graphic-expressionist for most of my life. Now in retrospect, I realize that I am a sort of metaphysical visionary. My visions have always poured from my mind’s-eye in a glorious flood…both divine and daunting, challenging me. An artist spends his lifetime being both blessed and cursed…both gratified and provoked by his own abilities. The artist never controls the art which flows out of his brain...but rather it is the art which controls the artist. Visions, thoughts, ideas prod the artist and demand to be created. In the past month and a half, I created more than forty new artworks including "RED-ELEPHANTS"- Joel Rothberg-2017”
