Black Men Clubbing

Black Men Clubbing is a view into the celebrated male portraits by the late Chicago photographer Michael Abramson from black nightclubs of mid-70s South Side Chicago. These fantastic, fun, and diverse photos taken by this young white man in a fashionable black environment are celebrated and analyzed in reference and response to today's black culture. Abramson attended these clubs regularly from late 1974 to 1977; many of them run by impresario Johnny Pepper which featured a mixture of blues, jazz, funk and early disco music.Men and women who attended these clubs were dressed to the nines and the photo book features the men and their exuberant clothing and attitude.
