About the jazz label 'Blue Note'.

Created at a time when photography was still striving to be considered an art, Francis Wolff's use of striking contrast and abstract framing echoes other 20th-century artists such as Man Ray and Horst P Horst.

Between art, documentary, and marketing, Wolff produced a series of exquisite works for Blue Note Records. While the primary function was promotional, the images remain a major documentation of this key period in history.

About photographers:

Paul Ryan has always navigated with ease between photography and cinematography. He studied photography under Minor White, Ansel Adams, and W. Eugene Smith. He became known for documenting San Francisco's culture in the 1960s, notably through in-depth photographic and cinematic studies of architect Larry Halprin and choreographer Anna Halprin. His photographs have been featured in international exhibitions such as Magnum's 'America in Crisis' and Robert Riger's 'Man in Sport.' Recent photographic exhibitions include 'In the Blink of an Eye,' showcasing children from Los Angeles, and 'Aerial Perspectives,' a view of the region from his single-engine Cessna. His images for 'Welcome to California' were displayed at the Track 16 Gallery in Los Angeles. He has taught photography at Ansel Adams' workshops.
Paul also worked as a director of photography on films such as "The Thin Red Line" by Terrence Malick, "A Box of Moonlight" and "Big Bad Love" by Tom DiCillo, as well as "And the River Runs Through It" and "The Horse Whisperer" by Robert Redford. He has made documentaries about the Alpine Ski World Cup, Salvador Dali, and the San Francisco Hells Angels. He has taught cinema at the Sundance Institute and the AFI.

Michaël Ochs (born in 1943 – died in 2025) was an American photography archivist, best known for his monumental collection of images related to rock and pop music from the 1950s and 1960s. After working as a publicist for record labels and managing bands, he began building his own collection of images.
