I'm not sure how much I like this one. It's sooooo close. This guy (and the drummer) ~were~ quite good. First attracted my ear with strains of Dizzy Gillespie's ~A Night in Tunisia~, and he continued to play lots of Miles and mid-fifties late bebop stuff.
BUT, the light was horribly harsh, and he kept moving from the light into the shadows. That moving also made it hard to get him and the drummer in the same frame without (to say the least) very distracting backgrounds. Unfortunately this photo has one of those horrid backgrounds, and he's in front of the drummer, but this was by far the best pose he "gave me" all 15 or 20 minutes I listened: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/08/come-blow-your-horn.html I waited to catch it again, constantly moving about to keep things nicely framed, but that pose never happened again. So this is it. Hope you enjoy.
