Widely regarded as the cradle of revolution, California’s Haight-Ashbury grew in the sixties from a small neighborhood in San Francisco to a worldwide phenomenon. Renowned for his powerful portraits of some of the greatest musicians of the era, Jim Marshall covered Haight-Ashbury with the same unique eye that allowed him to amass a staggering archive of music photography and Grammy recognition for his lifework. In this one-of-a-kind book, the full extent of Marshall’s Haight-Ashbury archive is stunningly displayed. Featuring hundreds of striking images of icons, including Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Allen Ginsberg, and more, The Haight tells the complete and comprehensive story of the street, creative, cultural, and revolutionary aspects of the day. Bold and beautifully crafted, The Haight captures the full scope and nuance of Marshall’s San Francisco photography and offers fresh insight into the Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, and beyond.
