Description: "Jazz in Black and White collects Duncan Schiedt's classic black-and-white photographs of some of the world's most famous jazz musicians. Each photograph is introduced by a brief biographical summary of the artist, along with a memoir about the photograph's creation that gives the reader a sense of "having been there." Included are Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Mary Lou Williams, Lester Young, and Thelonious Monk."--Jacket.
