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.
