Heritage Images is thrilled to announce its representation of the National Jazz Archive and Images of Jazz collections. These seminal collections of jazz photography are being made available together for the first time through the Heritage Images’ platform.

The National Jazz Archive holds the UK’s finest collection of written, printed and visual material on jazz, blues and related music, from the 1920s to the present day and includes the photographic work of the brilliant Denis Williams. The Images of Jazz collection represents the photography of the outstanding Brian O’Connor and is bought to you by Jazz Services, the UK’s foremost charitable support organisation for jazz music, in partnership with the National Jazz Archive.

Both collections are photographically stunning and capture the excitement and atmosphere of the live performance, the charming informality of off-stage moments and the intensity of the creative process with equal ease and style.

Featuring amongst others such greats as Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Dave Brubeck and Buddy Rich, Heritage Images is delighted to also be able to offer many of these extraordinary photographs as framed prints and canvases.
