This print shows Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman at the Downbeat Club in 1949. Leonard photographed jazz with unusual closeness, letting smoke, stage light, and musicianship sit inside the same frame.

About vintage photography

Vintage photographs carry the grain, tone and atmosphere of their time. Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting. The original image dates from 1949. Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time.

Styling this vintage photograph

Black-and-white tones give this vintage photograph a nostalgic character that holds a room. “Downbeat Club Jazz” becomes a statement piece at 24×36″, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. Because “Downbeat Club Jazz” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look. “Downbeat Club Jazz” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
