Shame on you!!!!

innocently, excitedly - and always interested in jazz and jazz photography - you introduced me to this site!

As I wandered through reading, enjoying the photography and musical offerings, I clicked on an album or two, (i thought). Needless to say I spent a bit more than I anticipated and eagerly await the arrival of some wonderful music.

Thank you
 
Thanks for the link. I love Wolff's work and have many of the original LPs for which he shot covers.

Interestingly, Lee Friedlander shot the covers for many famous jazz LPs early in his career. There's an entire book of Friedlander's jazz photographs called American Musicians that can be found pretty inexpensively.

I see his credits include the portrait of Mingus on the cover of _Blues & Roots_, which is one of my favourite portraits ever (it’s not a photographic genre I usually like, but when it’s good it’s really good). Thanks for the pointer, and thanks to Alex Benjamin for this thread.

On the subject of jazz photographers, Jim Marshall took some iconic photographs of Jazz musicians, like John Coltrane and Miles Davis. A couple of books of his jazz photographs have been published but, sadly, are out of print.
