William Claxton's Jazz Life

I am looking for the book "Jazz Life" by William Claxton. I only have his Steve McQueen book, which is really cool.

Some years ago there was a reissue, but it seems to be out of print. When it came out I was broke, but I still got one of the pictures from a magazine in my flat. It shows four musicians behind a double bass case in front of an industrial setting. One of the coolest photographs that I know...

IMHO, Claxton and David Bailey were the best photographers of their age. If anyone could post some pics! If someone wants to sell their book, I call "dibs"...

Thanks, Jim!  Amazing pictures!

Unfortunately, I could not find the one pic that I was talking about... I think I'll have to get that book!
