Sunday, June 10th at 4 p.m., there will be a jazz history panel
discussion and opening of a photography exhibit at the East Cleveland
Library (14101 Euclid Avenue). The event is free and open to the public.

There is a an article in today's Plain Dealer about the photographer,
Frank Kachirchuk. The print version of the paper has photos of Billie
Holiday, Billy Eckstine, Anita O'Day, and Stan Getz.

Here an excerpt from the article followed by a link to the source:

Last fall, Sandusky Register reporter Tom Jackson was looking to do a
good turn. He saw an ad in the paper from a resident of the Ohio
Veterans Home requesting someone to play jazz albums for him. When
Jackson arrived at the room of retired photographer Frank Kuchirchuk
he was knocked out by what he saw.

"It was like a little jazz museum. He had these big photographs of
these giants of jazz. Then I found out he took them," said Jackson.

"Not only were they rare Cleveland photographs, but it was immediately
obvious that Frank is a very talented photographer," said Jackson.
"These were beautiful, atmospheric pictures. And Frank shot a lot of
them."

The 83-year-old Kuchirchuk told Jackson he was looking for a home for
the collection of photographs taken in the early 1950s at a club
called Lindsay's Sky Bar near East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue.
