Sam Stephenson, the director of the Jazz Loft Project at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, will be interviewed by Ann Curry on NBC’s "Today" show tomorrow morning (Friday, Nov. 13).

The Jazz Loft Project, based at the CDS at Duke, is promoting the release of a new book: The Jazz Loft Project: Photographs and Tapes of W. Eugene Smith from 821 Sixth Avenue, 1957–1965.

The book tells stories of life in a dilapidated, five-story loft building in Manhattan’s flower district where some of the biggest names in jazz jammed with underground musicians and crossed paths with assorted other figures, from famed writers and artists (Norman Mailer, Diane Arbus, Salvador Dali) to thieves, addicts, prostitutes, local cops, marijuana dealers, and photography students.

According to CDS, the segment is scheduled to air at 9:43 a.m. EST. Tune in to NBC, or you can visit the Today Show website tomorrow to watch after the broadcast.
