The Gaslight Cafe

The Greenwich Village coffeehouse opened in 1958. Originally it was a "basket house" where unpaid performers would pass around a basket at the end of each set in order to be paid. The cafe became a gathering place for beatniks, artists, poets, and folk singers with a large variety of performances.

While exploring the work of Italian photographer Mario Cattaneo (1916-2004) I couldn’t help but feel the music within so many of his photos … in fact he has an entire series called Jukebox collected in the 50s and 60s #mariocattaneo #jukebox #photographer #photography #italianphotographer #musicinphotography #music #jukeboxmusic #bandw #blancoynegro #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #bwphoto #barmusic #cafemusic #50s #thefifties #the50s #sixties #thesixties #photographicseries #photocollection #fotografia #fotografie #laphotographie #photographie #musikautomat #bwphotography #schwarzweissfotografie #schwarzweiss #blancetnoir
