This was such a special afternoon for me and I wrapped myself up completely into the moment with all my pictures here that you can see are quite atmospheric and I hope fun. I will have to ask Lee and Leslie who this drummer was as I did introduce myself at one point to get him to sign the invitation that Lee and Leslie mail out to their friends and colleagues. I get one each year and have it signed by everyone there and then I give it to Lee and Leslie as a wee little momento from me and everyone else to them. I like this : they need something like this for many years later as memories fade and it's simply easier to have many things collected into one like this.
I love these pictures like the one above to give a sense of the movement and the sound of the sound in more visual ways. An abstraction , I know, but I love this kind of juxtaposition, too against all the other photos : provides mood and texture and contrast. don't you think? Nothing is ever as it seems quite as there is simply too much happening at one instant to register it all.
Above here in the photo jazz singer Jamie Broumas signs the invitation for Lee and Leslie. Thanks Jamie. You sure do sing with control and passion and lovely timing! I know you will soon be at Blues Alley performing this late spring/summer of 2011. Have a great show.
I had my camera set by accident on a filter-color combination of red and silver and gray and it sure does add something different to my pictures.
Thanks for coming. Thanks for having us Lee and Leslie.
As usual Lee and Leslie, this was a wonderful experience that many of us shared thanks to you both. See you I hope next year. TONY
