Last month I was contacted by my friend and regular client Stanton Moore(Galactic, Dragon Smoke et al….) to do a photo shoot to  support the marketing of his new new jazz piano trio record Conversations Stanton MooreConversations Stanton Moore “CONVERSATIONS"  where two New Orleans musical luminaries in bassist James Singleton and Pianist David  Torkanowsky  fill out the trio.  As per Stanton’s PR Company Calabro Music Media, the feel or parameters of the shoot would be a little different than Stanton’s existing “brand”.  After listening to “Conversations” a few times(an excellent Jazz CD BTW)   and with the direction “We need a couple images, something that's natural and captures Stanton's charm. Something that reflects the feel of the music on Conversations”, the visions started appear.  One reason I was tickled to take this shoot on such short notice and  and on  “Lundi Gras” was I would be able to use the new space in my remodeled  studio exactly as I had envisioned.  stanton_moore_photo_shoot_jm_030314_001Last month I was contacted by my friend and regular client Stanton Moore(Galactic, Dragon Smoke et al….) to do a photo shoot to support the marketing of his new new jazz piano trio record Image “CONVERSATIONS" where two New Orleans musical luminaries in bassist James Singleton and Pianist David Torkanowsky fill out the trio.
