The Jazz Loft is a series that is currently being featured on NPR's site. For people who are really into jazz and appreicate learning more about the people who made the music, this is a series that you don't want to miss.
In the late '50s and early '60s, photographer W. Eugene Smith lived in a dilapidated building where the era's top jazz musicians frequently stopped by to play jam sessions. He made approximately 4,000 hours of reel-to-reel tape recordings, and took nearly 40,000 photos, of the goings-on in the loft. Every Sunday in December, NPR's Weekend Edition presents highlights from The Jazz Loft Project Radio Series on WNYC. (Source)
