The great photographer William Claxton passed away this week.   His work captured most of the musical legends of the mid-Twentieth Century and appeared on many Pacific and Contemporary album covers.   Working from the West Coast, he often brought his subjects out of the dark nightclubs they inhabited and into the California sun.   For example, this very un-jazzlike shot of Sonny Rollins on “Way Out West” for Contemporary Records (1957)   With Shelly Manne and Ray Brown.

Patti Smith Group   “Gloria” b/w “My Generation”   Arista Record (1976)   (“My Generation” was recorded live in Cleveland on 1/26/76.)   Cool candid shot of Patti and Lenny Kaye backstage.

This “warning” appears on the back “NOTICE:   “My Generation” contains language that might be considered objectionable”   What the fuck does that mean!?
