- Abstract
- Edward Beach was the host of "Just Jazz," a well-known radio program in New York City that ran from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s. Broadcast over station WRVR, a not-for-profit station operated by New York City's Riverside Church, "Just Jazz" featured a single artist on each show and was hailed by musicians and jazz aficionados as one of the finest radio shows in the area devoted to jazz. Beach became well-known for his extensive knowledge of jazz music and musicians. The "Just Jazz" show ceased production when the radio station was sold in 1976. The collection consists exclusively of photographs and other iconography of musicians, primarily jazz musicians, although a few notable figures from other musical and artistic disciplines are also represented.
