Les 100 Meilleurs Albums de la Collection Jazz Images

Description

An essential and luxurious guide featuring a CD of fifteen tracks from the vinyl records of the Jazz Images collection, selected by the editorial team of Jazz Magazine. Enhanced with a new presentation highlighting the work of three major photographers, privileged witnesses of this period (Jean-Pierre Leloir, William Claxton, and Francis Wolff), as well as texts that contextualize each session within the historical and aesthetic framework of its creation, these 100 exceptional records constitute the ideal introduction to any respectable jazz collection. This series of reissues of vinyl records in their original format reflects a prodigious decade, a true golden age represented by the 1950s and 1960s, during which jazz reached its stylistic maturity and embarked on a series of aesthetic revolutions that allowed this brilliant expression of African American culture to multiply its faces, ultimately permeating all layers of global popular music.
