This photograph by Hamburg-based photographer Uwe Rau captures jazz legend Miles Davis performing at the Berliner Jazztage in 1969. Founded in West Berlin in 1964, the Berliner Jazztage (Berlin Jazz Days) was established to “document, support, and validate trends in jazz, and to mirror the diversity of creative musical activity.” Emerging in the years after the Second World War, when Germany was still divided between East and West, this festival served as a means of uniting people through jazz music. – Two light handling dents in lower and left margin, otherwise in near excellent condition.
