"The photographic volume 'Chargesheimer fotografiert Jazz. Köln 1950 - 1970', published by the Rheinisches Bildarchiv in Cologne, shows black-and-whites images by Cologne photographer CHARGESHEIMER (Karl Heinz Hagresheimer), with great musicians like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald among others he photographed Cologne jazz events. His pictures open an exciting chapter of Cologne's jazz history from the cool jazz of the 1950s to the music of the great Cologne jazz big bands in the 1960s of the 20th century. CHARGESHEIMER made vivid portraits of musicians and their performances in Cologne jazz venues, accompanied them on studio recordings, and created templates for posters and record covers. Around six-hundred negatives are now in the Rheinisches Bildarchiv, a large part of which are published for the first time in this modernly designed illustrated book." (© Emons Verlag, 2022)
