"Reissue of an acclaimed collection of images from photographer W. Eugene Smith's
time in a New York City loft among jazz musicians. In 1957, Eugene Smith walked away
from his longtime job at Life and the home he shared with his wife and four children
to move into a dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York
City's wholesale flower district. The loft was the late-night haunt of musicians,
including some of the biggest names in jazz--Charles Mingus, Zoot Zims, Bill Evans,
and Thelonious Monk among them. Here, from 1957 to 1965, he made nearly 40,000 photographs
and approximately 4,000 hours of recordings of musicians. Smith found solace in the
chaotic, somnambulistic world of the loft and its artists, and he turned his documentary
impulses away from work on his major Pittsburg photo essay and toward his new surroundings.
Smith's Jazz Loft Project has been legendary in the worlds of art, photography, and
music for more than forty years, but until the publication of this book, no one had
seen his extraordinary photographs or read any of the firsthand accounts of those
who were there and lived to tell the tales"
