Blue Note Photography

by Francis Wolf and Jimmy Katz

The book features a unique look at the history and many photos from the Blue Note Studios and Artists, plenty of charm and insight, hard to find title, text in German and English, will look great in your collection. The CD’s are missing

Simply beautiful - the photos by Francis Wolff (actually Frank Wolff) adorn some of the most important Blue Note records of the 50s and 60s (Art Blakey, Horace Silver) and are very experimental in terms of composition / image detail, but never overstylized. The atmosphere during the recordings appears tangible, aesthetically pleasing, mostly in black and white, of course. Finally there are these pictures in a massive picture book, which also contains a lot of good information about artists, labels and so on
