Back to the start of this gallery!

               
After leaving the Blue Note Jazz Club about midnight, we walked to the subway entrance around the corner and followed the sounds of great jazz music to our station. More photos of this group appear later in this gallery. I sat right in front of the stage at the Blue Note in NYC and was able to get some great photos of Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet.  

Another stage front photo at the Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC. I had to arrive an hour early. The black and white photo is toned.

 

Another photo of Freddie Hubbard in straight black and white.   Dizzy Gillespie performing at the Pocketts Jazz Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan in November, 1987, soon after he celebrated his 70th birthday. I photographed Diz with an antique Leica lll rangefinder 35mm camera made in 1938. (I think!)   Jay Beckenstein and Spyro Gyra at the Blue Note. I used 3200 ISO color negative film for the photographs in the low light. (No flash allowed).  

Jay Beckenstein again!

  Same night, same time, different musician. I printed this photo in black and white to capture the mood of the music.   A Monday evening jazz performance at the Blue Note. Robert Miller is on bass guitar. Interestingly, Donald Trump was near by in the audience enjoying the jazz concert. The photo is manipulated to grab the mood. 

 

This photo covers most of the jazz group I found performing in the West 4th Street subway station around midnight in NYC. I kept dropping dollars in the sax case as I exposed a full roll of high speed 35mm film. The black and white print is toned.   Another photo of the subway jazz group with a late night commuter diggin' the sounds.   I took this photo of a NYC subway car jazz performer with a sub miniature Minox camera. The negative is 9x11 mm in size. The black and white print is toned for an expressive mood.
