In this nostalgic book, writer and photographer William P. Gottlieb presents a fond look at the βGolden Age of Jazz,β from the late 1930s through the 1940s. Here are two hundred of Gottliebβs memorable photographs, masterful images with a distinctive storytelling touch that captures a very human side of these larger-than-life musical personalities. All the greats--Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more--are pictured onstage and off.
