“A deeply atmospheric snapshot of the times”

“You can almost feel the sun's warming rays and an ocean breeze emanating from Jim Marshall's evocative photographs in the book.”

“Jazz is about being present, and Jim Marshall knew how to get close to people and be present”

“The first in a series of volumes from Marshall's archive, and demonstrates the photographer's rare talent for handling composition, exposure and depth of field.”

“A lavish new book ”

“Jazz hipsters had their own, timelessly stylish take on the Ivy Look, which still has many lessons to teach us, in this much-less-hip future we now inhabit.”
