now you has jazz

Here's a couple of interesting things I found on the internets recently. Nice article from Smithsonian about Frank Driggs and his collection of early jazz photos. Some interesting anecdotes, lots of great photos. Altho Driggs comes across in the article as something of an annoying fetishist of the past (I mean, I love 30s swing but I can do that without talking smack about Coltrane). A more "out" take on jazz and photography in this article on W. Eugene Smith and his massive archive of tapes and, well, lots of other stuff from the 1960s. Fascinating, crazy stuff.

I've been ogling a book of William Gottlieb's jazz photos for awhile now. He took some of the most famous photos of jazz stars like Armstrong, Holiday, Fitzgerald.
