content: Consist of numerous snapshots, some from the 1940s-1950s, of both Gillespie's performances and his personal life. These images document concerts in venues small and large, international tours, other musicians whom he played with or influenced, his friends and family, and significant events in his life, such as the elaborate cruise/jam session with which he celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday in 1992 - the year before he died. Fishman arranged many of the photographs into photograph albums. There are also loose snapshots, 8" x 10" photographs, and some oversize photographs. Series is arranged in four subseries: Subseries 8.1, Dizzy Gillespie, 1941-1993, undated; Subseries 8.2, Albums, 1988-1993; Subseries 8.3, Other Artists, undated; and Subseries 8.4, Negatives, undated.
