A captivating archive of unpublished photographs of American jazz greats in London by accomplished British photographer Jamie Hodgson. Known during his lifetime as a fashion and society photographer, Hodgson’s passion for jazz led him to document the British tours of his jazz heroes throughout the 1950s and 60s, capturing extraordinary unguarded portraits of the stars on stage, backstage and in his Knightsbridge studio. ‘We had never seen the great jazz musicians because, until the Fifties,’ said Hodgson ‘they never came to Britain. It was an exciting time.’ His jazz photography was latterly celebrated with an exhibition, Masters of Jazz: Unseen Portraits, at the National Theatre in 2005. The Independent obituary, 2006.
