Classic Rock: Photographs from yesterday and today features the original, high-quality performance photography of veteran photojournalist, Jim Summaria. Through his camera lens, readers get a front row center seat to not only Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers in performance, but additional acts often overlooked and whose contributions are compelling.
This book draws an intriguing visual contrast between artists in their prime—and, if still performing, as they have appeared more recently.
The addition of quick facts and trivia about these artists, and revealing quotes from these musicians, peers, and critics will further entertain readers.
