The Smithsonian Institution houses his entire collection in the permanent archives of musical history. * Produced by Alan Douglas (Jimi Hendrix, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans). * Package design by groundbreaking artist Frank Gauna. "If I were to suggest a present for a jazz fan who has everything or for someone who wants to know jazz from the inside out, my very first choice would be Jazz Memories." -Nat Hentoff "After reading, listening and viewing Jazz Memories, I am convinced it is the best compilation of the masters of the Golden Age of jazz ever produced! Herman Leonard's photographs are as spontaneous and vibrant as the jazz solos performed by the great collection of artists included in this brilliant package - it is an instant classic." -Tony Bennett "Leonard's photographs, replete with twisting cigarette smoke, dramatic backlighting and total reverence for the artist cannot be beat." -Downbeat Check out the artist's website: http://www.JazzMemories.com Track List: 1.
