An essential masterpiece of jazz history by the renowned photographer and music historian, with a new foreword by Richard Williams.

In this classic account of the new black music of the 1960s and 70s, celebrated photographer and jazz historian Val Wilmer tells the story of how a generation of revolutionary musicians established black music as the true vanguard of American culture. Placing the achievements of African-American artists such as Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Sun Ra in their broader political and social context, Wilmer evokes an era of extraordinary innovation and experimentation that continues to inspire musicians today.

As vital now as when it was first published in 1977, As Serious As Your Life is the essential story of one of the most dynamic musical movements of the twentieth century.

Color and fit
Love the suit style. But the color wasn't what I expected. Was to be beige but appear to be more on a light pink. Also the fit was on the small size due to my awkward body size. Seller went beyond to solve my issue by having suit replace with a different color and adjusted size to fit. No questions asked. I was very satisfied.

Great suit, I'm gonna order more!
Bought this suit for a funeral and felt really sheek and unique. The buckle on the wrist and the right side really adds an impeccable fit and makes a sharp statement for anyone slim or chub. Worth the try if even a one time buy!

Nice price and good quality
Size: Large, Color: P1553-navy
I really like the zipper feature on this shirt. It looks sharp on, and is sized accurately. The fabric is comfortable and wrinkle resistant. It is nicely priced for the quality of the shirt. I was well pleased with it.

Perfect for Business Casual
Size: X-Large, Color: P1553-purple
The shirt was a huge hit at my husband’s job. Perfect color in the logo for the company. He immediately asked me where I ordered the shirt from. I suspect his colleagues will be ordering as well. Shirt quality and comfort are ideal in our July Tennessee weather. He loved the overall fit since it was perfect for his broad shoulders.
