It includes iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe, John F Kennedy, and Jackie Kennedy from the time when Erwitt was the Kennedy family’s personal photographer, but also everyday moments, humorous situations, and perhaps his most beloved subject: dogs.

The jazz band for the evening, Alexander Brott New York Jazz Trio, on Elliot Erwitt

As a jazz musician it is easy to be inspired by Erwitt! There are obvious aesthetic parallels in the black and white, New York romanticism, captured during the golden age of jazz, but more broadly there is a sardonic humor, a playful spontaneity, and a seamless mixture of the elegant and the absurd that feels very connected with the essence of jazz. It will be a pleasure to improvise with Erwitts pictures as inspiration!
