Marc Ducret and Fred Gastard

Hi folks,


I recently published on an excellent website dedicated to fine art photography "Darkrooms In Northern Light" a gallery with a serie of 9 photographs related to a concert I've covered the 16th May of 2010 at the Sud des Alpes, AMR, Geneva, Switzerland.
The musicians of this incredible free jazz group leaded by the french guitarist Marc Ducret were


Matthias Mahler: trombone
Kasper Tranberg: cornet
Fred Gastard: saxophone bass
Peter Bruun: drums


I choosed one of the 9 photos published and you will find below on my blog. . And you will find below the photo, a video I made during the concert, a long piece of 25 minutes I had to separate in 3 parts.
By the way, feel free to suscribe to my youtube video channel "jazz29171" .
The other 8 photos are available visiting Darkrooms and clicking here

RIP Ahmad Mansour

C'est avec une infinie tristesse que j'ai appris aujourd'hui le décès à l'âge précoce de 51 ans en raison d'une crise cardiaque du guitariste de jazz US d'origine iranienne, Ahmad Mansour (voir ce post que je lui avais consacré récemment pour une autre photographie et le lien sur son site )

Je te rends hommage Ahmad à travers une photographie que nous apprécions tous les deux, un moment que j'avais capté lors de ton concert à l'AMR, Sud des Alpes de Genève en décembre 2007 et bien sûr ta musique, aussi lyrique et sophistiquée qu'aventureuse, ne mourra jamais.

Nous n'étions pas amis mais nous nous saluions régulièrement avec un infini respect et je regrette de ne pas t'avoir connu mieux.

Mes condoléances et mes pensées à la famille d'Ahmad

Portrait of Ken Vandermark which gave me in 2004 the photography bug

Hi,

All it's on the title. I was a pure beginner and I take this photo I don't know how. To have luck is important too in photography. I still love this photograph ;-) Furthermore, this is a photo of a musician I truly admire.
