I started getting paid to play music at 10-11 years old. Music has been my passion all of my life and I have been around musicians as long as I can remember. As a photographer, musicians are some of my favorite subjects. Herein lies a collection of some of my favorites.
“Piano Man” is a composite of my father, the best pianist I ever worked with and a complete musician/singer.
“A change Gonna Come” is Donald Cope a licensed street performer in Savannah, GA and a truly gifted singer.
“Charlie Parker Said…” is an alto saxophone busker working the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. I watched him for 15-20 minutes and he never played a note of music, but held forth an animated conversation with a security guard, outside of this frame.
“Curtis Blues” is a one-man band (he's also playing a kick drum & tambourine) who sometimes busks outside the Torpedo Factory, in Old Town, Alexandria, VA.
“Fingertips” is this incredible gentleman who plays water glass harp. The juxtaposition of his wrinkled hands and the smoothness of his “instrument” absolutely fascinated me and I took over a dozen shots, from various angles. To hear him bounce from classical pieces to Broadway showtimes with nimble facility was awe-inspiring.
Forgive my vanity. “Jam Session” is me playing tenor sax in a “pick-up” group in 1967 or ’68.
