We are currently featuring the fine work of our own Dr. Keith Ian Polakoff. These photographs were taken at the Monterey Jazz Festival in September of 1996. Dr. Polakoff has graciously agreed to share his skills with us and with you, and he has granted permission to use his photographs in non-profit publications with the proviso that he be given credit for them and that a copy of each publication be sent to the California Institute for the Preservation of Jazz. For our shipping address click here. If you would like to publish any of these photographs in a commercial publication or would like a higher-resolution scan of any of them please make the request through email to the California Institute for the Preservation of Jazz. There are many photographs and slides from this collection in addition to those posted here, as well as materials from subsequent Jazz Festivals.
