In recognition of the 50th anniversary of KCCK-FM, Iowa’s only jazz radio station, the CRMA brings together photographs of jazz musicians taken by Cedar Rapids natives, Carl Van Vechten and George Henry. Carl Van Vechten moved to New York City in 1906; he became a well-known critic of music and modern dance and wrote about Harlem and the black artists he encountered there. Van Vechten would end up photographing many of the creatives that formed his large circle of famous friends and acquaintances. In contrast, George Henry would remain in Cedar Rapids for most of his life, working as Coe College’s visual historian and photographing countless important moments. This exhibition highlights the work of Van Vechten and Henry and their approaches to capturing jazz greats on film.
