{"value"=>"<p>The photographs series contains images arranged by topic and dating from 1939 to 2000. In addition to black-and-white and color prints, a small number of negatives and slides are also included. Photographs include images of Jarvis at work for Muzak, organ promotional tours and performances in the 1960s, family photographs, and formal portraits used for publicity from her early radio career in the 1940s to her solo and group tours in the late 1990s. The bulk of the photographs, filed under \"Jazz,\" show Jarvis in performance at concerts, small clubs, and festivals. Many jazz photographs show Jarvis with her frequent accompanists Milt Hinton, Earl May, Benny Powell. Images of her recording sessions from the early 1970s are also included in the jazz photographs, showing Jarvis and session musicians in the studio.</p> <p>Milwaukee Braves and Mets photographs cover her stints as a baseball stadium organist. The Braves folder includes shots of Jarvis at the organ as well as the team's player portraits from the late 1950s. Mets photographs show Jarvis playing in Shea Stadium, with professional photographs of her during games as well as promotional photographs by the Thomas Organ company. Frequent announcements about Jarvis on the scoreboard, as well as fan signs declaring her the Mets' most valuable player are also photographed. Jarvis returned to Shea Stadium in the late 1990s or early 2000s, and a select number of photographs from this appearance are included.</p>"}
