'Claxton is arguably the best jazz photographer in the world. But his work goes beyond the subject of jazz music. It encompasses the human condition and spirit' - Vanity Fair Responsible for most of the iconic images by which we remember the great American jazz musicians, here is Claxton's first-ever monograph of his lesser-known but equally remarkable portraits outside the world of jazz, featuring actors, writers, singers, artists and more. Alongside the photos are Claxton's own touching memories of personal experiences with the stars.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

"Claxon in arguably the best jazz photographer in the world. But his work goes beyond jazz; it encompasses the human condition and spirit."
—Vanity Fair

Many of William Claxton's photographs of American jazz musicians have become the iconic images by which we remember them—a young Chet Baker lying on his back in the studio, trumpet in hand; Bill Evans and Ray Charles at their pianos; a sparkling Sarah Vaughan; a somber Miles Davis; and countless more. Less well known is the fact that since the early 1950s, Claxton has also photographed scores of actors, directors, writers, artists, singers, and entertainers from outside the world of jazz.
