#18: The Storyville Jazz Club

This energetic photo looks like a good time. It was taken at the famous Storyville Jazz Club in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1952. Jazz is a staple of music history today, but back in the 1950s, it was still considered “risqué” and cutting-edge. As a result, jazz appealed to a lot of young people, like the people in this photo. 

The woman in the photo isn’t actress Reese Witherspoon, although she certainly looks like her 1950s doppelganger! Some people believe this woman is none other than famous jazz singer Grethe Kemp. We’re not sure of the identities of any of the men in the photograph, but they all look like they’re having a grand time.
