Albums contain snapshots taken of a teenaged Ted Joans (then Ted Jones), his friends and fellow band members, and the broader jazz milieu of Louisville, Ky. during the mid-1940s. The album's annotations and illustrations (including musical notation symbols) reflect both Joans' early artistic sensibility and the emerging bop movement in jazz. Albums also contain many newspaper clippings pertaining to the Louisville jazz scene. Loose photographs depict civil rights figure Stokely Carmichael (1960s) and a theatrical performance of The Skin of Our Teeth (1953). Negatives depict Joans later in life (ca. 1980s?). Painting depicts dollar bill.

2 albums and 1 folder (180 photographic prints) : b&w ; 18 x 26 cm. + 1 painting.
