Summary: Claxton saw something happening & knew what it was
Comment: It was William Claxton's great privilege to have known & photographed Chet Baker during the mid-Fifties. Baker was a handsome, photogenic young man, a rising jazz star whose cool vocal interpretations of standards were winning him a large, mostly female audience outside of jazz. These beautiful black & white photographs, both casual & posed, capture a cultural era as surely as do the films of James Dean, the recordings of Elvis Presley & the writings of Jack Kerouac. We often think of the Eisenhower years as a bland era in the United States, but this talented proto-punk musician was working nearer the fringes in an atmosphere of creative ferment. Claxton saw it happening & knew what was going on. Lovely book for Baker's fans & for those who appreciate fine portraits.
