Max’s Kansas City Art, Glamour, Rock and Roll

Photography by John Abbott Text by Bob Blumenthal

By Steven Kasher At no other time in history has there been such an important collision of art, music, and fashion than at Max’s in the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s.

Burroughs, and get a record deal from Clive Davis—just by showing up on a Tuesday night. 200 color and black-and-white illustrations, 160 pages, 9×11".

This intimate appreciation in pictures and words combines the images of Rollins’s photographer of choice for the past 20 years—who has captured the saxophonist at home and at work—and the essays of the jazz critic who has chronicled Rollins and his art for nearly four decades. 75 color photos, 160 pages, 8½×10¼".
