"Jazz Seen" is an exploration of the life of William Claxton, whose photographs turned the world of jazz on its keen and perceptive ear. Various jazz artists, photographers, and actors recount memories they had with Claxton and explore his work, while parts of his life are re-enacted by actors.
Directed by Julian Benedikt, Jazz Seen leans on a strong ensemble — William Claxton, Peggy Moffitt, Chico Hamilton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
