Jazz West Coast: Artwork of Pacific Jazz Records

English and Japanese text.
Colour and B&W ilustrations. A tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the founding of Pacific Jazz Records. William Claxton joined Richard Bock's Pacific Jazz Records upon its founding and photographed and designed all of its early album covers. Claxton's pictures are like stills from a dramatic film in the way that the recording session snapshots successfully convey the emotional vibrations of the musicians in 'the midst of a performance.
