Böcker av Lee Jaffe

In his new book, Jaffe pulls back the curtain to reveal an intimate glimpse of Bob Marley and the Wailers during their rise to notoriety from 1971-73, a socially and politically transformative period in Jamaican history. Lee Jaffe is a cross-disciplinary visual artist, musician and poet who captured extremely intimate photographs of Bob Marley and The Wailers during the last three years that they performed together. After their initial introduction in their mutual friend Chris Blackwell's room at the Chelsea Hotel in New York, Jaffe went on to forge a close creative partnership and friendship with Marley and eventually lived with him and his wife, Rita, in Jamaica. A first-hand witness to the birth of reggae music, he even had the opportunity to perform on stage and produce music in the studio with Marley and his band as well as travel extensively with them through rural Jamaica, London, Los Angeles, and New York. Throughout their time together, Jaffe consistently captured portraits that offer an intimate view of the lives of these legendary performers, revealing both their struggles and successes against the backdrop of a politically and socioeconomically turbulent Jamaica. His photographs accompanied by his first-person accounts and stories provide music fans with key moments that inspired some of Marley's most beloved lyrics and songs.

In 1973 young artist and filmmaker Lee Jaffe met Bob Marley in New York City and within hours cemented a friendship that would see Jaffe becoming a "Wailer" right down (or up) to his dreadlocks. While Marley was well known in Jamaica, he was little known in the rest of the world. Jaffe witnessed Marley's life and increasing fame during those years. He helped organize Marley's first American tour and played reggae with the Wailers throughout Jamaica. He learned Rastafarian ways. And he took wonderful, candid photographs of the many colorful characters who moved through Bob's world. This book, with the photographs and Jaffe's account of those exciting years, is a lens through which we have an intimate view of the young Marley. Jaffe's recollections of life with Marley are little diminished by time. Indeed, they are as colorful as the photographs, and as revealing. 120 four-color photographs.

In this book, Lee Jaffe argues that comparisons of all approaches to talking cures, and decisions about the choice of treatment for a given patient can be grounded in an understanding of the essential ways that each therapeutic procedure works.
