Those musical images are what can be expected in the new exhibit. Willoughby has photographed some of the most well-known jazz artists, including, but not limited to, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, and Frank Sinatra. In the release, Brubeck said, '[Willoughby] had not only a good eye, but a keen ear, and seemed to know when to snap at an inspired moment.'
Willoughby's photographs are collected and in museums around the world, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City to the Tate Modern in London. The release suggests that 'Shutter and Sound is as enduring as the music.'
The Sioux City Public Museum is in downtown Sioux City. Its hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and admission will be free. For more information, call 712-279-6174 or visit their website.
