Let the countdown begin, Jazz-Fam! We are two weeks away and we couldn't be more excited!
Here is a sneak peek at some of the unique Jazz culture at Babydoll's House: This beautiful image will greet you when you enter Babydoll's House of Jazz & Blues. It is a 54 x 35 canvas of E. Simms Campbell's Iconic "A Night-Club Map of Harlem". Artist E. Campbell (1906-1971) has been described as "one of the first commercially successful African-American cartoonists". Campbell was born in St. Louis to a family of educators, he trained at the Chicago Art Institute, working in St. Louis before moving to New York where he launched his career. Campbell was also the first African-American with a nationally-syndicated comic strip, Cuties, and he did advertising illustrations for national brands such as Barbasol and Bisquick. His long-term gig was with Esquire, which he joined in its founding in 1933 and where he remained as art editor for 25 years.
