In January 2014, Jim Marshall was posthumously honored with the Trustees Award from The Recording Academy, a Special Merit Award that honors contributions to music in areas other than performance. This is the music industry’s highest. Accepting the award was Jim Marshall's sole beneficiary, Amelia Davis, who is also the owner and founder of Jim Marshall Photography LLC.
During extraordinary times for popular music, photographer Jim Marshall was everywhere that mattered: in the Village in New York City with Bob Dylan, at sound check with Hendrix at Monterey Pop, greeting the sunrise at Woodstock with The Who; and probably flipping the bird right back at Johnny Cash once he caught the moment at San Quentin. The list goes on, beginning in the late 1950s and ending only when he died in 2010.
