Pasadena, Twelvetrees Press, [1987].
In his introduction, Terry Southern writes: 'The great French music critic André Hodeir has described jazz as a "visual music" – "played with the body, the entire body, by a musician who is so totally involved in what he is doing that one should not only hear his performance, one should also see it, in order to better understand what he is trying to express." Being extremely knowledgeable about jazz, as well as a personal friend of many of the musicians he photographs, William Claxton ("Clax") is keenly attuned to the relationship between the musician and his music, and between the musicians themselves.'
