Their Love of Music
Photography by Stephen Azzato
Foreword by Lester Holt
Quiet Light Publishing is pleased to announce our next release – Their Love of Music by photographer Stephen Azzato. In Their Love of Music photographer Steve Azzato has captured the essence of the creative spirit in the faces and words of the musicians themselves. Featuring portraits of 117 artists, the book takes a slightly different approach to music photography than typically seen. “The beauty of this project for me was being able to sit with a huge range of musicians and explore what drew them to their art”, says Azzato. “I was able to hear it in their voices and record it visually in their images”. In the simple quiet of a green room, without the crowds or bandmates or tour managers, Azzato’s photographs transcend the chaos of the stage and the intensity of the studio to reveal the inner spirit that drives each of his subjects. From grizzled veterans to kids just starting out, folks who play stadium shows to unpaid openers in small clubs, jazz to blues to rock to roots…what unites them all is in fact, their love of music. Although as noted rock photographer Annie Liebowitz suggested to Azzato at the start of the project, ‘You had to pick the hardest subjects to photograph’, he has assembled a collection that is unrivaled in its intimacy and expression.
With the foreword by Lester Holt, NBC News anchor and a musician himself, this look into the minds and feelings of the artists will inspire people in all walks of life, not just musicians and artists, but everyone who wants to follow their own path.
The list of artists is an eclectic assortment from all walks of music, from Aaron Neville to Willie Porter and includes Dave Brubeck, Madeleine Peyroux, Ramsey Lewis, Steve Miller, Dave Mason and Rosanne Cash just to name a few. This book is destined to be a favorite of those who love photography, those who love music and those who love great books.

Richard Mack & Steve Azzato
As a founding editor at Quiet Light Publishing it was a great pleasure to meet Steve several years ago when my book on Lewis & Clark was released. We immediately hit it off and had something in common as I had just finished working on my first book and he was just beggining to work on his. It has been fun to watch his progress and be involved with this project. I am glad that when he went looking for a publisher we were the first choice! He and I will be blogging about the progression of the project and how it came to be a book on our blogs, along with current information about the relase of the book, artist updates and the release of prints from his book. So I encourage everyone to read our blogs! You can also check out Steve's work on his website at www.steveazzato.com.
