| Sumario: | Typically, a photograph of a jazz musician has several formal pre-requisites: black and white film, an urban setting in the mid-twentieth century, and a black man standing, playing, or sitting next to his instrument. This book reveals how such a steadfast script developed visually and what this convention meant for the music.
