Program Description
Event Details
Welcome to a history of visualizing jazz performances from the late Swing Era
to the Bebop Period! Discover social and cultural connections through
classic photos, "soundies" (1940s-style music videos), the short
historic film Jammin’ the Blues, and more. We'll also highlight the contributions of famed Ohio University grad Herman Leonard and his "art of jazz" photography. Our
guest speaker, Dr. Art Cromwell (Ohio University School of Media Arts
& Studies), considers himself a “trans-media archaeologist" and has
won numerous awards for both his teaching and documentaries.
