JAZZ PHOTOGRAPHY – RON ECKSTEIN

More photographs from Ron Eckstein. 

This month, I spoke with photographer Ron Eckstein (pictured above with Celia Cruz in the background) about his unique career as a photographer of jazz, Latin jazz, blues and rock & roll in Hawaii and New York. Eckstein started taking shots of New York city life when he drove a cab in the 1980’s. Soon, he became the house photographer of clubs in the New York area, taking photographs commissioned by, among others, The New York Times.

Ron has been so kind to send me some more of his photographs from his enormous archive. Here are some great shots of female jazz artists.
