[AuthorName]By Jeff Lowenthal and Robert Schaffner and Foreword by Mike Vernon and Marshall Chess[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Jeff Lowenthal began photography as an enthusiastic amateur but soon became a professional after images he took at a recording session were featured in DownBeat magazine. “If I can’t make music, I can document those who do,” he says. Jeff has a BS from the University of Wisconsin and an MSJ from Northwestern but learned photography on the job.
Robert Schaffner grew up in a variety of states, until his family finally settled in the Chicagoland area. His hometown and his interest in British blues made the Fleetwood Mac in Chicago album a perfect and inevitable topic for this book.
