The Fascinating Self-Portraits of 20 Famous Authors

Jazz: A Rare Record of a Cultural Revolution

by Maria Popova Last winter, The Jazz Loft Project was one of readers’ favorites — a rare and fascinating look at the secret life of a New York loft, where some of the most iconic jazz musicians of the 1950s came to play at night. This season brings us a greater treasure still: Jazz — a humbly titled yet absolutely amazing retrospective of the work of legendary photographer Herman Leonard , who passed away a few weeks before the book was published.
