The Ghosts of Harlem
Sessions with Jazz Legends
by Hank O'Neal
Foreword by Charles Rangel
496 Pages, 9in x 12in
For each 'session' with a jazz legend, O'Neal has supplemented the interview and portraits with many of his other photographs, historical photographs and memorabilia. From the archives of Chiaroscuro Records, O'Neal has produced a CD that accompanies the book, which features sixteen of the 'ghosts' playing at the ends of their careers, between 1972 and 1996, including Cab Calloway, Milt Hinton, Doc Cheatham, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Tate, Eddie Barefield, Earl Hines, and Illinois Jacquet.
Hank O'Neal, President of Chiaroscuro Records and HOSS, Inc., has produced over 200 jazz LPs and CDs and over 100 music festivals. Books of his own photos include several jazz titles and Gay Day: The Golden Age of the Christopher Street Parade. He is also the author of several books on photographer Berenice Abbott.
