Description
In coordination with the Libraries' 17th Annual Fall Reception, which takes place on October 4 from 2 - 5 p.m., this exhibit will focus on recently acquired jazz collections from UMass, Boston, and the Northeast. Photographs will include jazz greats plus posters, images, and memorabilia of the regional jazz scene and culture from the 1960s on. Materials range from the Boston Jazz Society Collection and images of Boston jazz clubs in the Bernie Moss Collection to images from Jazz in July at UMass Amherst performances by Robert Davis and Ronald Steele. Several other collections on exhibit will document composers and performers, including innovator Borah Bergman and retired UMass Amherst professor and Emeritus Director of the Fine Arts Center, Frederick Tillis.
