Drawing on extensive archival research, Ainsworth examines jazz as a visual subject, explores its attraction to different types of photographers, and analyzes why and how they approached the subject in the ways they did. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While some of the photographers are widely recognized today, the volume also explores lesser-known figures of the period--including African American photojournalists, studio photographers, early-twentieth-century emigres, and Jewish exiles of the 1930s--whose contributions are often overlooked.
