FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY (October 6, 2016) Jazz at Lincoln Center celebrates the East Coast launch of Jazz Festival: Jim Marshall with a book signing and discussion on October 14 & 15 at 7pm in the Agnes Varis and Karl Leichtman Studio at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall, located at Broadway at 60th Street. These special events compliment Jazz at Lincoln Center's "Jazz 100: The Music of Dizzy, Ella, Mongo & Monk" concerts which take place on October 14 & 15 at 8pm in Rose Theater. 

The book signing and pre-concert discussion will feature Jazz at Lincoln Center's Director of Public Programs & Education Resources Seton Hawkins in conversation with Jazz Festival: Jim Marshall author and designer Graham Marsh and editors Amelia Davis and Tony Nourmand. The group will discuss the photographs of the iconic jazz figures that defined a uniquely American art form.    

Jazz Festival: Jim Marshall, published by Reel Art Press, is a tribute to the legendary photographer. Marshall managed to capture the freedom, excitement and intimacy of the Newport Jazz Festivals and Monterey Jazz Festivals of the 1960s. Included in the collection are photographs - some never-before-seen - of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Wes Montgomery, Ben Webster, Nina Simone, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and more.
