Order an ImageSeattle's Jackson Street jazz clubs flourished in the first half of the twentieth century, with their popularity peaking in the late 1930s through early 1950s. Seattle-born photographer Al Smith was a familiar figure in the clubs, often taking pictures of musicians and patrons, then returning the following week to sell prints.
On this occasion, Smith photographed two couples seated at a table at the Basin Street nightclub. Another woman stands at right, and the man at left, boxer and trainer Bill Ross, has a dog in a plaid jacket on his lap.
