Abstract:

Collection comprises the professional archive of freelance photographer Eddie Rocco. Based largely in the Los Angeles area (but working at times in Las Vegas, Texas, Mexico, Louisiana, and Florida, and on one 1959 trip to Cuba), Rocco chiefly photographed the entertainment industry. Pictured are nightclubs and jazz musicians of the 1950s-1960s, including many African American musicians, burlesque entertainers and "pin-up girls", recording artists (especially psychedelic rock and pop bands of the 1960s-1970s), and television and film celebrities of the 1950s-early 1970s.
