Music Icons, Suitable for Framing
Blogged under Art and Photography, Music and CDs by John DeFore on Thursday 31 July 2008

The photography-centric Morrison Hotel Gallery, launched early this decade to deal in high-quality images of (mostly) musical icons, has flourished both online and in a half-dozen locations in New York and California. It may be named for a Doors album, but an exhibition opening this month proves it doesn’t only cater to fans of Sixties rock: “In Session at the Columbia Records 30th Street Studio” culls through Sony BMG archives of one of the most storied recording studios in history, a place where everyone from Johnny Cash to Glenn Gould made classic records. The building is no longer standing, but these candid photos (mostly shot by Columbia Records’ in-house photographer Don Hunstein) give you a feel for what a storied place it was. Beautiful black-and-white images catch Bob Dylan at the piano, Tony Bennett studying a score or jazz greats Billie Holiday (pictured) and Thelonious Monk in the middle of performances. Prints mostly range from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on size, and can be ordered with a frame for a few hundred dollars extra.
