Synopsis

1987 - Photographer Luciano Viti succeeds in what remains one of the most significant events in the history of music photography, that of realising photo-sessions with Miles Davis and Chet Baker, two legends of jazz. During the usual 'ten minutes' at his disposal, Viti made a series of stunning and intense portraits that will go down in history.

For the first time, after more than twenty-five years of photographic career, Viti's photographs have been published in this book, accompanied by a poetic text by Paolo Fresu, a renowned jazz trumpeter. A unique testimony of rare beauty to celebrate two great and unforgettable musicians who have marked the jazz history.
