If you’re in Germany this autumn, value jazz photography, and have plenty of quality time at your disposal to best appreciate the work on display, then 40 Years of Jazz People, an exhibition of the work of distinguished US photographer Patrick Hinely, whose work has graced the artwork of many ECM, Enja and Watt albums over the years, and which has also appeared in such leading specialist music publications as DownBeat, Jazz Forum, and Swing Journal, is a must.
Hinely’s first European show since 1992, the exhibition opens at the Jazz Institute on 24 October and runs until 11 January. Most of the work presented, as described by the Institute’s website, is, somehow reassuringly, the product of Hinely’s “decades-long love affair with black and white film and Leica rangefinder cameras.”
