William Claxton. Jazzlife - Rezensionen
"En 1960, le photographe William Claxton et le musicologue renommé, Joachim-Ernst Berendt, sillonnent les Etats-Unis, au volant d`une vieille Chevrolet, sur la piste du jazz. Les magnifiques images réalisées au cours de leur odyssée sont rassemblées dans un album Jazzlife, vite épuisé et recherché des fans du genre. En voici la réédition, augmentée. C`est de loin le livre le plus grand, le plus lourd et le plus spectaculaire de cette fin d`année."Madame Figaro, ParisFrankreich |

"Le jazz en son royaume. Manifeste photographique sublime dédié au jazz vivant, Jazzlife a permis à William Claxton d`exprimer à fond son expressionisme en noir et blanc. La réédition de cet ouvrage, 45 ans après sa première sortie, est un événement autant pour les fans de jazz que pour les amateurs de photo. (...) Merci, cent fois, mille fois, à l`éditeur d`avoir pris le risque de rééditer et d`actualiser Jazzlife, formidable pièce de collection recherchée par autant d`amateurs de jazz que de photographie."Le Républicain Lorrain, MetzFrankreich |

"Meilleure vibration. Jazzlife de TASCHEN. Le Jazz? Plus qu`une pulsation, c`est un mode de vie. Forts de cet item, le photographe William Claxton et le musicologue Joachim E. Berendt traversent les Etats-Unis sur la piste du jazz en 1959 et 1960. De leur rencontre naît une incroyable collection de photos et d`enregistrements musicaux. En 2003, les éditions TASCHEN commencent à rassembler tous ces inédits. Cela donne un livre collector grand format de plus de 700 pages avec un CD audio remasterisé qui vient juste de paraître. De la rue aux églises ou aux salles de concerts improbables, cette ballade musicale emprunte les pas de Charlie, Count, Ella, Duke, Stan, Billie et les autres…"L'Optimum, ParisFrankreich |

"Recently published in hugely expanded form by leading art book experts TASCHEN, Jazzlife, by noted photographer William Claxton and jazz writer Joachim Berendt, has been one of the book sensations of the year, not to mention one of the largest books Jazzwise has ever come across. (...) This book is a visual feast and includes some of the most striking and expressive jazz photography ever seen..."Jazzwise Magazine, LondonGroßbritannien |

"I know the price tag of £100 is hefty, but it is a VERY big book. However, you wouldn't be reading this magazine if you were not interested in blues and possibly jazz, and if you also have a passion for photography and have a wallet bulging with Xmas present money then I have to recommend purchase."Blues & Rhythm Magazine, LondonGroßbritannien |

"TASCHEN don't do their art books by halves and Jazzlife is a mini suitcase that weighs as much as an old typewriter. All of which means that when you feast your eye on some of the double-page spreads you think you're looking at a gatefold record sleeve that has been upsized."The Independent ABC Magazine, LondonGroßbritannien |

"...a book with great capacity to take the breath away - and not merely with trying to lift it. This is not so much a coffee table book as a coffee table in its own right."Blues Magazine, LondonGroßbritannien |

"Jazzlife, Claxton's collection of photos and tales from that journey has become a highly sought-after collector's item. (...) This gigantic tome, probably the most complete and important document of the jazz scene from that era, is full of iconic images of Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis and touchingly, intimate portraits of lesser-known musicians. Jazzlife is a gift that any jazz fan will enjoy for years to come."European Business, LondonGroßbritannien |

"This massive book and CD collection is roughly the size of a coffee table and collects work from photographer William Claxton`s trek across the nation in 1960 to document the working jazz stars of the time. Included in the collection: Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, Dave Brubeck, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, and Ella Fitzgerald."Atlanta Journal-Constitution, AtlantaUSA |

"In 1960 American photographer William Claxton and German Musicologist Joachim E. Berendt drove across the U.S. to the great cities of jazz. The book they produced was issued the following year with two 7-inch discs of music Berendt had recorded on the trip, and it became a classic. TASCHEN now has issued a second edition, with texts in English, French, and German, many pictures that had not been previously published and a CD of the original recordings. Even those with minimal interest in jazz will be captivated. The photographs are some of the most atmospheric ever taken of musicians and their haunts, the large-format reproductions are flawless."Chicago Tribune, ChicagoUSA |
