In April 1958, Dantzic photographed one of the few studio sessions between jazz greats Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton, who were rehearsing for the Timex-Jazz Show at the CBS Studios in New York City. More than 30 photographs of this historic occasion will be on view. Arthur Q. Davis: Legacy of a Modern Architect Throughout Arthur Q.
