Jazz Heroes is an essential volume of rare and previously unseen photos by Steve Schapiro, featuring the biggest 1960s jazz legends. One of the leading social documentary photographers of the 1960s, Steve Schapiro's images stand among the most important of the 20th century, covering Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin and many others.

These largely unknown jazz photos shot just before his career breakthrough showcase his early mastery and his empathy for his subjects, making Jazz Heroes an essential archive. In the early '60s, when Schapiro arrived on the scene, New York jazz was enjoying a golden age.

A young freelance photographer who had grown up in the Bronx and somehow snagged a gig with Riverside Records, he began voraciously documenting shows, players, venues, recording sessions and gatherings both in his native New York and later in Chicago. Whether it's Sonny Rollins lifting weights backstage, or Bobby Timmons lost in an instant of discovery at the piano, Schapiro was on their wavelength.

Written by New York Times journalist Richard Scheinin, Jazz Heroes features dozens of never-before-seen photos of jazz legends like Cannonball Adderley, Dorothy Ashby, Bill Evans, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie and more.
