Timeline

1959

Emmett I. Brown Jr. (1918 – September 9, 1959) was a professional photographer who is most noted for documenting Indianapolis, Indiana's jazz music scene along Indiana Avenue, a hub of activity for the city's African-American community in the 1940s and 1950s. Brown opened his own photography studio, the Brown Show Case, on Indiana Avenue in the late 1940s. During a brief residence in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the mid-1950s, Brown opened a photography studio and became an editor at Sepia magazine. Brown returned to Indianapolis in 1956 and established a new studio on the city's eastside, where he concentrated on portraits and did freelance photography, including work for the Indianapolis Recorder. During his twenty-year career, cut short due to a heart ailment, Brown photographed Dizzy Gillespie, jazz trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, the Hampton Sisters, the Milt Buckner Trio, and The Mills Brothers, among others. He also photographed local churches, businesses, and street scenes, as well as notable individuals in Indianapolis's African-American community and nationally known boxers Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson.

Brown suffered from a rheumatic heart condition and died on September 9, 1959, in Indianapolis, a year after undergoing open heart surgery. Funeral services were held at the Martindale Avenue Church of Christ, where he had served as assistant pastor. Brown was buried at Floral Park Cemetery in Indianapolis.

1950

In mid-1950s Brown and his family relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he opened a photography studio and became an editor at Sepia magazine, a photo-journal publication that featured articles on African-American politics, music, and lifestyles. Brown stayed at the magazine only briefly and returned to his hometown of Indianapolis in 1956.

1947

Many of his photographs from the 1940s and 1950s are included the collection of the Indiana Historical Society.

After college, Brown returned to Indianapolis in the late 1940s and established the Brown Show Case, his own photography studio at 808 Indiana Avenue, next to George's Bar, a popular venue for local musicians. The studio's strategic location enabled Brown to photograph many entertainers and jazz musicians who performed along Indiana Avenue, the hub of the city's black entertainment and music scene.

His most notable photographs document the popular jazz music scene in the 1940s and 1950s along Indianapolis's Indiana Avenue. Musical artists who appear in Brown's photographs include Dizzy Gillespie; jazz trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, who played with Lionel Hampton and recorded with Gillespie; the Hampton Sisters; the Willis Dyer Band, with Dyer playing a Hammond organ; drummer Les Fisher, who later played with Count Basie; Buddy Parker and his tenor saxophone; the Milt Buckner Trio, with Buckner on the piano and Hammond organ; and The Mills Brothers, among others.

Murff, as well as nationally known boxers Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson.
