Jazz for a Candid Camera

IN "LISETTE MODEL: The Jazz Pictures" (Eakins Press Foundation) trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie plays chess on a lawn in the Berkshires between gigs; Louis Armstrong plays ecstatically at a New York City club and looks exhausted in his tour bus; and devotees huddle in a rainstorm at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival.

Lisette Model took hundreds of photos of jazz icons, including Billie Holiday (left) rehearsing in 1956, and Louis Armstrong performing in 1954 (above).
