1950s JAZZ IN LONDON AND PARIS: Walter Hanlon Photography
By Walter Hanlon.
Photographer Hanlon's pictures of such greats as Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, John Dankworth, Chris Barber, Humph, and Cleo Laine, are collected here. Having been a musician, Hanlon's contacts assured he was at the forefront of the jazz scene and these stunning photographs are the result. He developed a technique of "off camera" flash to create atmospheric pictures in the clubs of London and Paris. These photographs provide an important reference of the era and a legacy for all jazz fans. Fantastic photo collection!
