About This Item
Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2009. First edition, first printing. A one of a kind. Here are the photographs and tapes of the photographer from his residence. Already historical and legendary for its large night haunt of musicians albeit Charles Mingus or Thelonious Monk among them along with a variety of outsider and underground figures. Smith exposed almost 1500 rolls of film at his loft, making 40,000 pictures, the largest body of work in his career. He surreptitiously wired the building where he lived making a recording studio of 1700 reels of stereo and mono amounting to 4000 hours capturing 300 musicians at their leisure and their music. A work of love which details this ongoing historical event. With W. Eugene Smith's black and white and color photographs throughout. Profusely illustrated with strong text. Has become quite scarce. Fine and bright and handsome in pictorial dust jacket with crisp bright text
