The New York Times has a very cool audio slideshow on its site, featuring W. 
Eugene Smith's photos and recordings from the late '50s and early '60s, when 
his loft became an after-hours hangout for some to the greatest musicians in 
jazz.

Smith shot mostly Leicas.

You'll hear snippets of the jam sessions and Smith himself talking about the 
loft, the music, and his photos:

The Jazz Loft Project's own website has much more of everything on it:

Here's my own small contribution to all of this:
