Order an Image
Seattle's Jackson Street area 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.

Here, Smith photographs a couple on the dance floor at Club Rizal.
