JAZZ, a collaborative book published by Walker Creek Press, is an intimate conversation with Marsalis on tour, with stunning color photographs by Nubar Alexanian. The quotes are pulled from lectures and workshops, but the reader is drawn into Marsalis’ philosophy by his gift for conversation and his universal message. With an extraordinary ear for human dynamics as well as music, the jazz he creates relies on truth, communication, respect, self-control, and wisdom. His appreciation of and reverence for each of these elements, combined with the lyrical images of award-winning photojournalist Nubar Alexanian, make this a compelling and inspirational view of America’s greatest music. For both Marsalis and Alexanian, jazz is a metaphor for the best kind of human interaction, and JAZZ illustrates this beautifully. 4 1/4 inches square (CD size) with 30 photographs
