New York, 1958. Silver Gelatin Photograph measuring 8 ½ x 11 ½ inches, with Schatt’s marks verso with his notation “Vintage ‘58” in ink. A fine example, fine contrast. A striking image of Eartha Kitt and her band performing at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival, taken by the prolific photographer Roy Schatt, perhaps best known for his photographs of James Dean. This is a vintage example, likely printed in 1958 from the “1958” and “Vintage” marks to verso. We find no other record of this specific image, only a similar image from Kitt’s performance taken by Schatt.
