Grammy-winning music historian, archivist and author, Jeff Gold says collecting is an illness, a condition he’s enjoyed with zeal since he was eight years old. His latest book, Sittin’ In capitalizes on his passion for gathering by featuring his collection of photographs taken in jazz clubs across America in the 1940s and ‘50s of musicians and those who love them. While there is plenty of documentation of jazz greats, Sittin In features candid photos of the audiences who came to hear them and wonderful shots of musicians listening to musicians. The result is a fresh view of the jazz scene of the time and the culture that surrounded it.
