Jazz Greats: Classic Photographs from the Bank of America Collection - Cheekwood
x icon Close

The magic that happens when a photographer captures a precise moment in a performing artist’s life – on or off stage – is on view in Jazz Greats: Classic Photographs from the Bank of America Collection. The exhibition consists of 33 photographs by 14 photographers that date from the 1920s to the 1980s. The photographs portray jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong and celebrate the dynamic nature of the genre. This exhibition has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities® program.
