@Kent: thanks Kent for you kind comments. thanks for stopping by to look at my photos. welcome to Aminus3 !!

@Tamara: Hi Tamara. Yes its on my blog. Thanks for your comments as usual ! ;-) much appreciated !

@Pavla: Thanks Pavla for your great comments here! Yes he is a very interesting person and a great musician. I think he is shy and retiring. In fact alot of the jazz musicians I meet are really great un-assuming people... so refreshing really.
I was asked to come along to a rehearsal session for a new band that were also preparing for recording and performing this year. The place they were rehearsing was a cramped garage with crap lighting. So I had to use a flash. All I had was a Nikon flash that I bounced off the ceiling (dark timber rafters) on my Canon DSLR. I just directed him to sit with his bass and talk about his music.

@bluechameleon: Thanks so much Blue. You really honour me with your comments! I stood on a milk crate to get some elevation. He is a very tall man and his bass is huge. He is one with his bass. Some people are easy to capture.
