Val Wilmer's seminal photographs documenting of the avant-garde jazz scene in the USA in the 60s and 70s are revered everywhere. Her book As Serious As Your Life featuring artists like Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Milford graves, Rashied Ali, Coltrane and others, celebrated a previously undocumented area of black music.
This new photozine features loads of rarely unseen and equally stunning images of black blues artists and life in the Southern States where Wilmer travelled extensively.
Awesome small and beautiful photo-zine. 36 pages, staple-bound, 14x20 cm
