In “Jazz Images,” the late photographer Jean-Pierre Leloir conveys in images the French love of jazz and of its heroes.
Ever since the end of the First World War, France has been a center of activity and a place of honor for American jazz musicians who were often denied both—as well as fundamental civil rights—in the United States. In the alluring, atmospheric book “Jazz Images” , the late photographer Jean-Pierre Leloir conveys in images the French love of jazz and its heroes.
Leloir exhibited impeccable taste in his choice of subjects, including advanced modernists who were controversial at home. His timing was also tragically good. Dolphy was photographed in 1964, only eleven days before his death, in Berlin, from diabetic shock.
Many of the French concerts by the artists in Leloir’s book—indeed, many of the performances at which he photographed these musicians onstage or backstage—were recorded, some officially, some not. I’ve pulled together a Spotify playlist of performances in France by the musicians in the dossier that’s meant to put sounds to the images.
