William Claxton. Jazzlife. The Collector's Edition - Reviews
„Jazzenthusiasten dürfen sich auf eine Jazzreise durch die Zeit freuen, und die Musik so sehen und hören wie Claxton und Berendt sie einst erlebt haben.“Lapsus, WuppertalGermany |

"In 1959 and 1960, acclaimed photographer William Claxton and German musicologist Joachim Berendt made a journey across the U.S. in search of jazz, documenting their travels in a journal published in 1962 as Jazzlife. TASCHEN reissued the tome in 2005 and has now released Jazzlife the Collector`s Edition which includes four signed and numbered ultra-chrome prints and a CD."Town & Country, New YorkUnited States |

"These days the publishing industry in Japan has been facing difficulties, and many publishers have been trying to market to their readers. However, there is a unique and powerful publisher called TASCHEN, whose owner says "Mass marketing is not necessary." The company is famous for huge books called SUMO series, such as Helmut Newton's SUMO or Muhammad Ali's GOAT. After finishing high school, he started his own comic shop at the age of 18, and his accurate eyes were seeing the exact market from then. His collector's editions like SUMO with original photos are considered not just books but art whose value will rise. For example, SUMO was launched at 190,000 yen but is now 750,000, and GOAT was 390,000 but is now 450,000, and many people started realizing that those books will get more expensive as copies become rare. Keeping this in mind, it is now time to buy Jazzlife Collector's Edition. With gorgeous photography by William Claxton, 4 original prints are included at 150,000 yen. GQ researched his market price and found that one original photo costs 80,000... Call TASCHEN and get them immediately. Not talking only about money, it is good to see beautiful things every day and one day their value will go up?"GQ Japan, TokyoJapan |
