Photography of Les McCann

[BFrank]

A nice collection of photographs taken by jazz legend Les McCann, 1960-80. Worth checking out.

I bought the book. It has really great photos. Les has a good eye!

Some examples in the new issue of Wax Poetics.

I recommend McCann's Night Music album Les Is More. It's a collection of his own personal recordings, not all of them of his own performances, and it suggests that his ear was as perceptive as his eye.

The link is dead.

Just bought the book on Amazon, for under $10. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1606997866/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm a sucker for looking at jazz photographs. Thank you for the alert!
