This summer at the Newark Museum of Art, two exhibitions have highlighted intimate photographs of jazz musicians of the 20th century. The first, Billie Holiday at Sugar Hill: Photographs by Jerry Dantzic, displays the photographs Dantzic took of Holiday during her week-long residency at the Sugar Hill nightclub in Newark in 1957. The second exhibition is titled, Jazz Greats: Classic Photographs from the Bank of America Collection, which highlights photographs of jazz greats like Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and others sitting in on jam sessions, recording in the studio, and living in their private life. Millicent Matthews, manager of travelling exhibitions, and Catherine Evans, deputy director of collections and curatorial strategies at the Newark Museum of Art, join to discuss the importance of these photographs and what else you can expect to see. Both exhibitions are on display until August 21.
