Three people at the bar at the Basin Street nightclub, Seattle, August 18, 1945
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 a couple having a drink at the bar at the Basin Street nightclub while a woman in a straw hat and checked jacket sits nearby. One of the individuals has been identified as C.B. Sherney.
