I shared this NT Times music article and book earlier with my jazz and music friends on Facebook. I wanted my friends at the Pork to learn about this fantastic book of jazz photographs and friendship.

Don't you just love vintage black and white images. I like how the camera captures these important musicians whom Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter befriended.

She also collected wishes. Over the course of a decade, Koenigswarter asked three hundred musicians what their three wishes in life were, jotting them all down in a notebook. At the same time she took hundreds of candid photographs, saving them all. In Three Wishes, Koenigswarter’s forays into the psyches and lives of these legendary jazz artists are made available in America for the first time.


I bought the book this morning, presale available 11/1. The best price for this book I found was hardcover for $10.99 at Tower.
