In 1952, Franz Rosenbaum joined the German Diplomatic Service. His postings included Singapore (Attaché) from 1953 to 1956, Cyprus (Commercial Secretary) from 1958 to 1963 and Toronto (Trade Commissioner) from 1964 to 1975. The years 1964 to 1968 were considered Rosenbaum’s photographic jazz period. While his interest in the genre began in the mid-1940s, he became heavily involved in the jazz scene during his time in Toronto, then a hotbed for jazz. During this productive time he developed a method that enabled him to increase the light sensitivity of his black and white negatives. This allowed him to photograph performances without the use of artificial light. As a result, he became a highly sought after photographer for musical performances. In each photograph, Rosenbaum sought to capture the artist consumed in the act of music making. Rosenbaum’s photographs have been featured in international publications as well as on CD and record covers.

This photograph of the Oscar Peterson Trio performing on stage at Toronto’s Massey Hall was recently selected for a fundraiser for the Massey Hall Revitalization, in a special edition of 25 silver gelatin photographs. Partial proceeds from the sale of this work will go to the Massey Hall Revitalization campaign.
