Review "Blue Note is the greatest jazz label of them all, hence the numerous publications over the past twenty years. The thing, however, that distinguishes Francis Wolff’s photos from the images of two other great photographers — Herman Leonard and William Claxton — is that Wolff was always present in the Van Gelder studio when all these classic albums were being rehearsed and recorded. He truly captured the gestalt and essence of what makes Blue Note great."-KCRW RHYTHM PLANET BLOG"A dazzling selection of more than 101 photos of jazz musicians taken between 1948 and 1969 by the co-founder of the Blue Note record label." -THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

By Stuart Jefferson This book has been around for a while but I was looking at it again and I thought I'd say a few words about how great a book this is in case anyone is wondering about it. There are so many great b&w photos included here, picking out highlights is pretty impossible. The large format of the book and the matte finish of the paperstock really do justice to these photographs. Even though a number of them are spread across the gutter of the book they still convey that whole atmospheric Blue Note feel and the sound of all those many classic sessions. If you're a Blue Note fan no doubt you've seen many of these as album covers, but seeing all these great portraits by Francis Wolff in a nicely printed large format book is pretty cool.Just checking the book out again I noticed that the musician's names on pages 106-107 are reversed and some of the written information isn't exactly accurate. But those are small quibbles when stacked up against so many fine portraits. If you already own the books dedicated to the Blue Note label (album covers/anniversary history/biography/etc.) and you don't own this large tome, you're missing a fine look at many of the musicians who helped make that "Blue Note sound" that jazz fans (like me) find so compelling. If you have a few extra dollars in your jeans you could do much worse than spend it on this fine book. This is a good addition to any jazz fan's shelf of jazz books.

Outstanding By Modal Bop One of several Blue Note Francis Wolff photography books, I feel this along with the larger coffee table book are the two essential ones for the Blue Note fan. Plenty of photographs that are unique to each book. The overall quality is excellent and it is bound in thick cardboard.

Liszt Terrific photo book with an interesting introductory essay about the German immigre founders of Blue Note Records. It's a moving experience to put faces to the names of musicians we know from record liner notes. Compare how these guys dressed (and smoked!) -- for rehearsals and recording sessions, yet -- with the schlumps who throw on any old clothes to play our clubs now.
