Jazz Combo III: Portraits of Seattle Jazz Greats by Daniel Sheehan

As part of the 2019 Within/Earshot Jazz Festival, BIMA is pleased to feature portraits of Seattle jazz greats by noted Northwest photojournalist Daniel Sheehan. Sheehan has been documenting clubs, venues, and musicians Seattle over many years and captured the scene in a way that few could, including the compelling faces of Clarence Acox, Jay Thomas, Buddy Catlett, Ruby Bishop, Overton Barry, and many other local legends. Joining Sheehan’s photo survey is a selection of iconic jazz album covers of the past decades curated by photographer Raymond Gendreau, owner of Backstreet Beat record store.
