William Claxton

[Começou por fotografar músicos, olhou para eles como pessoas, não só como artistas. Ele queria capturar o drama inato das suas vidas, a diversão, a ansiedade, a juventude eterna. Ele aprendeu a fazer tudo isso e muito mais em 1950, quando seu álbum de covers para a Pacific Jazz Recordsd reflecte um som carregado de clubes de jazz na praia e noites amenas Califórnia.
.
Claxton é um foto-jornalista. Ele faz com que os artistas fiquem confortáveis o suficiente para baixar a guarda, então congelar seus momentos mais reveladores. As maiores revelações ocorrem quando ele leva os músicos fora do palco.]
