Metronome Jazz Collection.<\/em><\/h1>\n<p>Limited Runs\u2019 founder, Pierre Vudrag, in conjunction with Getty Images (who houses the collection), has spent the past two years researching Metronome\u2019s vast photographic archives, which for the most part have been untouched for over half a century. \u201cSifting through the old file cabinets,\u201d said Vudrag, \u201cwas like embarking on an archeological dig. They were the original metal cabinets Metronome used to house the photos when they were still in business.\u201d Vudrag added: \u201cI was finding photographs that haven\u2019t been seen since they were first published, if they were published at all. Many photos were submitted to the magazine at the time, but the editors only choose certain images for publication. The rest were filed away, many into obscurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"John Coltrane \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d Contemporary Print\" href=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/original\/photography\/music-photography\/john-coltrane-love-supreme\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4274\" title=\"John Coltrane \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d\" src=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LR-METRO-0507-John-Coltrane1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LR-METRO-0507-John-Coltrane1.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/LR-METRO-0507-John-Coltrane1-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><em><a title=\"John Coltrane \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d Contemporary Print\" href=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/original\/photography\/music-photography\/john-coltrane-love-supreme\/\">John Coltrane<\/a>. \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d.
