'Jazz in all its richness and variety occupies a special place in the artistic life of South Africa. For more than 55 years, legendary photographer Jürgen Schadeberg has documented the South Africa jazz scene. As photographer and art director of Drum magazine during the 1950s he was one of the first to capture on film the energy of the jazz clubs and dancehalls of Sophiatown, as well as emerging stars such as Dolly Rathebe, Kippie Moeketsi and Hugh Masekela.'
