Benjamin Cawthra
California State University, Fullerton and author of
Blue Notes in Black and White: Photography and Jazz
(Chicago, 2011), discusses the tradition of jazz
photography and its relationship to mid-twentieth

connections among the photographers, art directors,
editors, and record producers who crafted a

explores how musicians shaped their public
images to further their own nancial and political
goals.
