JAZZ POSTERS 13

THE PROMONTORY
5311 S. Lake Park
Hyde Park, Chicago, IL
All posters are 11 x 17 ins. unless
otherwise indicated.

One day in 2015 I was on campus looking at the bulletin boards where I often find many local jazz posters. There was a student who's job was to remove old posters from the boards and he had just taken this one down and was going to throw it in the trash barrel he had with him. I asked him if I could have it as I collected posters. I didn't realize at the time how important The Promontory would become in presenting jazz groups as it had opened less than a year from the time I was given the poster. I have never seen another one of these. Size: 18 x 24 ins.

Most of these were gifts from Jake Austin.
