"In 1957, Eugene Smith, a 38-year-old magazine photographer, walked out of his comfortable settled world--his longtime well-paying job at LIFE and the home he shared with his wife and four children in Croton-on-Hudson, New York--to move into a dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York City's wholesale flower district. Smith was trying to complete the most ambitious project of his life, a massive photo-essay on the city of Pittsburgh. 821 Sixth Avenue was a late-night haunt of musicians, including some of the biggest names in jazz--Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk among them--and countless fascinating, underground characters. As his ambitions broke down for his quixotic Pittsburgh opus, Smith found solace in the chaotic, somnambulistic world of the loft and its artists. He turned his documentary impulses away from Pittsburgh and toward his offbeat new surroundings. From 1957 to 1965, Smith exposed 1,447 rolls of film at his loft, making roughly 40,000 pictures, the largest body of work in his career, photographing the nocturnal jazz scene as well as life on the streets of the flower district, as seen from his fourth-floor window. He wired the building like a surreptitious recording studio and made 1,740 reels (4,000 hours) of stereo and mono audiotapes, capturing more than 300 musicians, among them Roy Haynes, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Roland Kirk, Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry, and Paul Bley. Also dropping in on the nighttime scene were the likes of Doris Duke, Norman Mailer, Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Salvador Dalí, as well as pimps, prostitutes, drug addicts, thieves, photography students, local cops, building inspectors, marijuana dealers, and others. Sam Stephenson discovered Smith's jazz loft photographs and tapes eleven years ago and has spent the last seven years cataloging, archiving, selecting, and editing Smith's materials for this book, as well as writing its introduction and the text interwoven throughout. W. Eugene Smith s Jazz Loft Project has been legendary in the worlds of art, photography, and music for more than forty years, but until the publication of THE JAZZ LOFT PROJECT, no one had seen Smith's extraordinary photographs or read any of the firsthand accounts of those who were there and lived to tell the tale(s)." [jacket copy] I also include as a bonus David X. Young's JAZZ LOFT (1954-1965) book & 2 CDs of jam sessions in a Fine package. These are not the Smith recordings, but they feature Bob Brookmeyer, Hall Overton, Jim Hall, Zoot Sims, Pepper Adams, Mose Allison, many others. "Jazzlofts actually did have a natural educational function--young musicians just starting out had the opportunity to woodshed with the older accomplished players in a freeforall context that could only encourage the jazz spirit of spontaneity. No college vibe here, no theory, no academics; the real thing!"--David X. Young. Beautiful Knopf production of THE JAZZ LOFT PROJECT w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, in a pristine jacket. Both items quite collectible. Oversize book will likely require additional postage & insurance to get to you safely; please inquire with your specific interest & mailing address.
