Just a couple days ago it hit me that April is Jazz Appreciation Month . Sooooo, I just decided to look into my Jazz Gallery of original Black and White images of iconic main stream Jazz Artists in performance that I had photographed from 1968 to 1982. These images were all photographed on kodak Tri-x 400 speed film usually exposed at ISO 1200 which I often developed in my darkroom using Acufine Developer for a finer grain when using higher than normal film speeds which was needed when photographing in darker Jazz club/concert venues.

My favorite camera of choice was at that time - An iconic 1954 Nikon S2, 35mm rangefinder with a 50 f1.4 lens (I still own and use today) that had a super quite shutter !

During the early 1970's as a student of Jazz Composition and Arranging at Berklee College of Music as well as honing my photographic skills, I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Berk , Berklee's President and Alma Berk who was director of the college's public relations department . Mrs. Berk often hired my services to photograph concerts and college related events.

Some of these images were photographed at Berklee College of music such as the image of Charles Mingus which was a workshop music class . Mingus was in town doing a gig later that evening at the Jazz Workshop Jazz Club in Boston.

One the reasons I've always like capturing these Iconic Jazz Musicians in performance is that their individual musical styles matched their stage presence . Check out Betty Carter belting it out!! or the coolness of Gerry Mulligan as well as Dexter Gordon, or the seriousness of a more classical approach to Jazz in the Piano styles of the Modern Jazz Quartet's John Lewis and also Dave Brubeck's composition "Blue Rondo a La Turk" and of course "Take Five" composed by Alto sax player Paul Desmond , a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Anyways,---- "HAPPY JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH"- Today
