The Jazz Loft Project: More Tapes
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Thousands of hours of tape recorded in a Manhattan loft in the late 1950s and early '60s were recently discovered. They became The Jazz Loft Project -- and a 10-part WNYC radio series produced in association with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. In today’s episode, "More Tapes," Sara Fishko takes a close listen to some of the music and conversation captured by photographer W. Eugene Smith's tape recorders, starting in 1957.
This series is produced in conjunction with Sam Stephenson’s book, The Jazz Loft Project, coming out today. For more information on the project, click here.
