Bob Marley 2010 Wall Calendar

Bob Marley Wall Calendar: Bob Marley gave the world a double legacy of joyous music and social activism, both in the name of love. Almost single-handedly Marley brought reggae—a musical form once unique to his home country, Jamaica—to the attention of a welcoming world. Once he had our ear and attention, he applied his prominence to advocate for human rights, self-determination, and interracial harmony. This calendar pays tribute to the legendary musician and man of peace with twelve memorable photographs and quotations. Birthdays, biographical notes, and milestones in reggae history are noted throughout.

Classic Jazz 2010 Wall Calendar

Classic Jazz Wall Calendar: Chuck Stewart apprenticed with the great jazz photoportraitist Herman Leonard and became friendly with the likes of Basie and Ellington; made the opening-night scene at Birdland; and achieved an intimacy with his many subjects that shines from his photographic record of the classic years of jazz. Stewart handles his camera with the casual excellence of Grant Green or Wayne Shorter: instrument at hand and ready to do the right thing. Just as they and the other greats featured here�Ray Bryant, Doc Cheatham, Jimmy Cobb, Red Garland, Urbie Green, Chico Hamilton, James Moody, Patti Page, Tito Puente, and Frank Strozier�are pure embodiments of jazz music, Chuck Stewart is a pure jazz photographer.
