Overview

During the 1970s, when jazz clubs all over America were folding under the onslaught of rock and roll and disco, San Francisco's Keystone Korner was an oasis for jazz musicians and patrons. Tucked next to a police station in the city's North Beach area, the Keystone became known as one of the most important jazz spots in the United States. It was so beloved by musicians that superstars McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones played a benefit concert just so the club could buy a liquor license. In this book, more than 100 black and white photographs, a collage of oral histories, and a marvelous CD of recordings from the club chronicle the Keystone experience.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Having since documented events and had her work displayed in museums and galleries around the world, photographer Sloane began her career at San Francisco's iconic Keystone Korner jazz club, which persisted through the 1970s as jazz venues around the United States were shuttering. The intersection of Sloane's presence and the Keystone's reputation as a venue for both premier and up-and-coming musicians resulted in an extraordinary photographic record of many of jazz's leading lights in action. In this first collection of her work, Sloane, aided by Feinstein (editor, Ask Me Now: Conversations on Jazz & Literature), includes interviews with employees, performers, managers, and hangers-on to supplement the images and create a composite of Keystone Korner that captures the club in an extended moment of outstanding performances (some of which became live albums). VERDICT This book is no mere time capsule; since many of the interviews took place more recently, they have more of a reflective quality, contextualizing the importance of the Keystone as a landmark of jazz history. For jazz fans, historians, and performers.—Genevieve Williams, Pacific Lutheran Univ. Lib., Tacoma, WA
