Glorious Days and Nights: An afternoon of Jazz, Dance and Film

What: “Glorious Days and Nights: A Jazz Memoir” featuring Jazz photography by Herb Snitzer Presented by Something Special Sundays by Marilyn Ginsberg Eckstein

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating jazz, dance, and film, highlighted by the screening of Glorious Days & Nights: A Jazz Memoir, a film produced by Bob Judson. This captivating program draws inspiration from our past exhibition A Jazz Memoir: Photography by Herb Snitzer. The film tells the story of Herb Snitzer, a visual historian and humanitarian who dedicated much of his life to capturing the essence of jazz legends like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and many others. Through his lens, Herb also documented the societal disparities he observed, having faced prejudice as the son of Jewish immigrants.

The film showcases Herb’s artistry and his lifelong fight for equality among all races and religions, using photography as a powerful tool for change. In addition to the film screening, the event features a performance by Ballethnic Dance Company, presenting excerpts from Jazzing: Memoirs in Jazz, a dance work inspired by Herb's iconic jazz photography. The afternoon will conclude with a panel discussion featuring photographer and curator Tony Casadonte, jazz musician Joe Alterman, and filmmaker Bob Judson.
