Terrific stuff, especially of Zutty. I ll post some pics when I can of Singleton, taken by Charles Peterson in Zutty s Harlem Apartment, February 1942. Peterson, Pops, and Singleton, the trio on an armchair, living large, in good spirits because of spirits and ganja, another pic the three eating gumbo, Armstrong, roach pinched between his fingers, all smiles. The pics published in Swing Era New York The Jazz Photographs of Charles Peterson, W. Royal Stokes, Photographic preparation by Don Peterson, Charles son, Foreword by Stanley cheap airline tickets to new york Dance, Temple University Press, Philadelphia. Recognition of Charles Peterson s photographic contributions to the history of Classic and Swing is long overdue. Not to mention his personality, his contributions as a musician, his career cheap airline tickets to new york as a freelance photographer for Time, Saturday Evening Post, Collier s, and then his work for down beat, Metronome, and Stage. He was intimate cheap airline tickets to new york with all the early greats, from Pops to Mezz Mezzrow and Jack Teagarden, to name just a few. A Renaissance cheap airline tickets to new york man, he was also a deep sea sailor and celestial navigator. He worked as an ad copy writer, a real estate salesman, and an installer of fire escapes and other wrought iron fixtures. During WWII he built a 16 acre farm in eastern Pennsylvania and became a professional blacksmith, machinist, and general mechanic.
If you want to praise Charles Peterson, you have to get in line he s one of my heroes, and his generous son Don has made it possible for me to post pictures that CP took unseen until now on this blog. He was one of those rare artists who manage to capture the scene all at once: you can hear the music in a Peterson photograph. Glad you share my enthusiasm, or vice versa!
