I've had the good luck to listen to some wonderful music and to have had the pleasure of working the the people who make it through my photography. These images are a tribute to their work.
2008
Back at the RNCM for a concert by the Bobo Stenson Trio (Bobo Stenson - piano, Anders Jormin - double-bass, Jon Falt - drums). A good evening. Pictures can be seen at: Bobo Stenson Trio at the RNCM.
Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollani played at the Royal Northern College of Music in April 2008. A witty, elegant performance which they enjoyed as much as we did. Images can be seen at Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollani at the RNCM.
This set of images of the John Abercrombie Quartet was taken at the Bielsko-Biala Festival in 2005. I'm delighted that ECM have used black and white versions for the liner of the The Quartet's latest CD (The Third Quartet).
John Surman played at the Wigmore Hall alongside bassist Chris Laurence and the Trans4mation string quartet. I was there for the rehearsal. Images can be found at: John Surman at the Wigmore Hall
The Alan Weekes' Jazz Diaspora were playing at the Baltic on Blackfriar's Road. Good music from a great trio. More images can be seen at: Jazz Diaspora at the Baltic
My son Bill's in a new band called Real Feal. They performed in a pub off Roseberry Avenue in October 2008. Some snaps can be seen at: Real Feal
2007
The Tord Gustavsen Trio performed at the Royal Northern College of Music on October 17, 2007. There are some images from the sound check and concert at: Tord Gustavsen Trio at the RNCM.
2006
Bill and Mamiko, my son and daughter-in-law are in a band called Infants. They were playing at Artrocker in Islington, London, last week. A good set. To see more images go to Infants at Artrocker. They have a myspace spot you can visit - check out Infants
2005
I was invited to provide a photographic documentation of Tomasz Stanko's Jazz Festival at Bielsko-Biala. Acts included Manu Katché’s Neighbourhood band, with Trygve Seim substituting for Jan Garbarek, Louis Sclavis, and the John Abercrombie Quartet, as well as the Stanko Quartet and the Simple Acoustic Trio of Marcin Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Michal Miskiewicz. A small selection of images from this event can be seen at the links to Jazz at Bielsko-Biala.
The Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek played in Warsaw on 11 October to a packed house. I was able to take some concert photographs for ECM records. A small selection from this work can be found at the Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek link.
2004
I went to the Tord Gustavsen Trio concert at the Purcell Rooms in London (May 2004). The images you can see at the concert photos link were all taken during the performance. A selection of these photographs will be used in the booklet for the Trio's ECM CD "The Ground".
The Tomasz Stanko Quartet recently performed in Warsaw. A selection of images from the rehearsals and open air concert can be seen at Tomasz Stanko in Warsaw. More images of the Quartet at work can be seen in Fabryka Rehearsals. These were taken during the recent Tomasz Stanko festival in Warsaw.
