This week's edition of the Stupefied playlist is brought to you courtesy of famed photographer, Allan Tannenbaum, who says, "I could add so many songs - I think I need a radio program."
He loved
rock & roll from the moment he heard Etta James sing "Roll With Me
Henry," and Elvis sing "Heartbreak Hotel" in the mid-50's. He listened to Symphony Sid's late night jazz program on WADO-AM with a pillow
speaker while in high school, and started playing in bands while at Rutgers
in the 60s where he met & became friends with future Patti Smith Group guitarist, Lenny Kaye. He lived for 3 1/2 years in San Francisco at the height of flower power, and
photographed Jimi Hendrix at Winterland in 1968.
Chief photographer for
the SoHo Weekly News from 1973 until 1982, Allan covered politics, art, nightlife,
and music. This is where he really built a solid foundation for his career - the results can be seen in the fantastic collection, New York In The 70's, his first book, and it's still in print. He can lay claim to doing one of John Lennon's final photo sessions, and went on to cover international news in the 80s
and 90s.
Allan is still snapping away and playing music, mainly sitting in with
the Rolling Bones at their monthly Red Lion gig on Bleecker Street.
With exhibitions and lectures taking place worldwide, keep an eye out for him! His next exhibit outside of NYC is in June at the Mr. Musichead Gallery in Los Angeles.
A big Stupefaction thank you to you, Allan!
