Ooooheeee! Floyd Webb ( Billy Dunlop) just dropped off 3 stunning ( priceless ) prints. Ed Wilkerson, Hugh Masekela and Elvin Jones. Contributed to the Big 40 Auction saluting HotHouse. The quality ( and quantity ) of extraordinary photographs in this auction could qualify for its own stand-alone exhibition
PoKempner, Deutsch, Teller, Jackson, Webb - these names constitute a galaxy of mid-century Chicago camera work during a seminal time in the development of JAZZ - all museum pieces
Bid in comments - only through tomorrow - after that in person paddle raises at the party on Saturday. Thank you Floyd. ps the photos here do not do justice to the rich expert printing
