jmjk Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Anyone have any favorites? I think my one of my favorites has to be the shot of Joe Henderson and Kenny Dorham that's on the inside liner of the Una Mas RVG. Joe's looking at Kenny like he either just told a dirty joke, or he just finished a kickin' solo---to be a fly on the wall during THAT shot! Looks like they were having the time of their lives! I wish I had access to an on-line version to post. Quote
ralphie_boy Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 I love the shot of Lou Donaldson and his band outside of RVGs studio that was on the back cover of the Mosaic catalog that featured the Donaldson set. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 This is one of my favorites. It just seems to capture the lyrical quiet core to this man's fiery sounds, and the time period as well. . . . Quote
jmjk Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Posted September 10, 2003 I love the shot of Lou Donaldson and his band outside of RVGs studio that was on the back cover of the Mosaic catalog that featured the Donaldson set. Is that the one where they're having coffee or donuts, or something with Alfred Lion? Quote
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 I guess I like Wolff's contemplative photo side, as this one is also a favorite (and I'm now far enough along in my not-smoking that I don't want to light one up when I stare at it!) Quote
Jazzdog Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 I don't know if it's my favorite or not, but there is a photo in the Blue Note Years book on pg. 61 of Art Blakey and Philly Joe Jones. Art is holding a drink and a cig in one hand and and Philly Joe is there and Art looks like he about to just KILL SOMEONE (at least it does to me) and PJ is there trying to talk some sense into him like... "Fuck that motherfucker, that cat ain't shit" or some such. It kills me to look at it, and it kind of puts me there, in the shot, as it were. Quote
sal Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 If you look at the Mosaic Records catalogue, and go to the page that has the Elvin Jones set, there is a picture of Elvin playing, eyes closed, cigarette hanging out of his mouth. That's the one! Quote
Jazzdog Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 The cover of Blue Train may be my favorite photo of anyone, anywhere!!! Quote
pryan Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Speaking of BLUE TRAIN, I kind of like the picture(s) of Trane, Lee, and Curtis all playing together. Man, what a front line! Quote
The Mule Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Love this one, but I've always been a sucker for "frame within a frame" compositions. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 i like the one with hank and that yellow turtleneck. you know the one...... Quote
paul secor Posted September 12, 2003 Report Posted September 12, 2003 One of my favorites is a photo from the last page of the Bud Powell Mosaic box booklet. Photographed at Birdland in 1957, Bud is in the center foreground of the photograph, seemingly in a good mood. At the right side of the photograph, there is a young man, sitting with chin in hand, and all of his attention focused on Bud. Quote
