title: Invitation To Openness: The Jazz & Soul Photography Of Les McCann 1960-198
author:  Les McCann 
description: If McCann never touched a piano in his life, hed likely still have become famous as a photographer. The proof is in his new book,<em>Invitation to Openness: The Jazz &amp; Soul Photography of Les McCann</em>, which collects many of his best pictures. Looking at McCanns photographs, one gets the distinct sense of being in the room with the subjects. ... In each case, McCanns lens strips these icons of pretense, brushes away the dust of history, and leaves them not naked, not vulnerable, but <em>open</em>.<br /> - <strong>Travis Atria, <em>Red Bull Music Academy</em></strong><br /><br />One of the most thoroughly enjoyable parts of the book<em>Invitation to Openness</em>, alongside his insightful pictures, is McCann's personal remembrances of his photographic subjects...<br /> - <strong>Chris M. Slawecki, <em>All About Jazz</em></strong>
