Come to Our Gallery Opening
We can't offer any wine or cheese, but we do invite you to attend our gallery opening. Jazz.com is launching a new online exhibition of classic images from the Sony archives. This unique collection of photographic images captures iconic figures from the past at sessions and live performances. As such, they embody the essence of jazz in a way that a posed studio portrait can never match. Jazz.com is delighted to share these images, featuring the great jazz artists associated with Columbia, and highlighting the artistry of photographer Don Hunstein.
Below is a small sampling of the works in the gallery.
Here are Miles Davis and John Coltrane from the 1959 Kind of Blue session that produced “All Blues” and “Flamenco Sketches”.
