Johan van der Keuken
Johan van der Keuken's Big Ben: Ben Webster in Europe (1967) portrays the jazz saxophonist at age 58, living in Amsterdam. He plays in clubs, practices at home with a record player, and gets fussed over by his landlady (second still). A process sequence showing a saxophone factory shows van der Keuken's skill as a photographer.
