Christiern Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 Here's one of my favorites, scanned from a French postcard sent to me by Peter Pullman (who is in France working on his Bud Powell biography). Quote
Big Al Posted June 19, 2003 Report Posted June 19, 2003 (edited) Beautiful! There was a picture of Art Blakey at the Mosaic site that I set as my desktop background at home. Can't seem to find it now. But, it's the picture used on the cover of THE BIG BEAT! Edited June 19, 2003 by Big Al Quote
brownie Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Christiern, this is a beauty! Any idea who took that one? Also, any idea when Peter Pullman's book will be ready? Waiting for that Bud Powell book... Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Here's one of my favorites, scanned from a French postcard sent to me by Peter Pullman (who is in France working on his Bud Powell biography). Who paints while it is raining? How abstract can you get? Quote
brownie Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Had a closer, second look at the photo. It is one of a series of Robert Doisneau's posed photo which is why there is a painter in the rain. Doisneau must have hired the 'painter'. This was obviously taken in the Montmartre section of Paris. The man holding the umbrella is French comedian Maurice Baquet who was one of Doisneau's favorite subject. He played cello. This works, even if it is posed. Doisneau posed most of his photos including his most celebrated 'candid' photo (Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville) of a couple kissing in the street outside the Paris City Hall. Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I know it's not "a" photo, but I could thumb through the Francis Wolff photo books endlessly. And do. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Maybe not very artistic but this picture has spent many months on my computer desktop: Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons, Sam Rivers and Andrew Cyrille - July 1969 at St. Paul de Vence, Paris, France. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I'll spare you the photo of Sarah Jessica Parker's butt that I posted elsewhere, but I can safely say that I will never tire of that one! Quote
Christiern Posted June 20, 2003 Author Report Posted June 20, 2003 I'll spare you the photo of Sarah Jessica Parker's butt that I posted elsewhere... We are all deeply indebted to you, Dan Quote
Joe Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 The famous image of Johnny Hodges signaling for his waiter to keep filling his glass is certainly one of those "picture worth a thousand words" images. I also like these... Miles and Fats Donald Byrd Pres Yusef Lateef Newport Rebels Dorham, Coleman and Mingus Quote
Late Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 (edited) Also dig these: And these: Edited June 20, 2003 by Late Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Really like the Cecil Taylor and Pres pics. Joe: What famous pic of Hodges are you talking about? Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 This is an alltime favorite for me. Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 And another. The larger this image is, the better. Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 Also the larger the better. The detail captured in this frame is actually pretty amazing. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 (edited) Those jazz photos are cool. . .but this one was truly a favorite for some time! Also there is a photo of my wife hanging upside down in gravity boots from about the time that I first met her that is a favorite. . . Edited June 25, 2003 by jazzbo Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 There is a photo (or series of photos) of Ornette in the early 70's (or very late 60's), rehearsing in a "loft"-type space just as a trio (I think), that I simply love. It's back when he had a full beard for a few years there. I think the photographer was Valerie Wilmer, if I remember right. I'm looking for the image on-line now, but can't seem to find it. This one isn't the picture I was thinking of (or at least I don't think it is), but it was taken in the same "loft"-type space as the one that I am thinking of. (The one I'm thinking of shows the band playing, if I remember right.) Also, here are some other pictures of Ornette with a full beard, which I'm just finding just now (looking for the other one) - which I also rather like... I think the picture I'm looking for is in Wilmer's "As Serious As Your Life: The Story of the New Jazz", which I see they have just reissued (again) in paperback, calling it "As Serious As Your Life: John Coltrane and Beyond". (Or at least I presume that this is the same book, retitled.) I'll see if I can find my copy of the book, and confirm it one way or another. Quote
Joe Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 The archetypal Dex photo. Mnytime -- I can't find the Hodges photo online anywhere, but I could swear its been reprinted in one of the Mosaic booklets, maybe the COMPLETE 1956-1961 VERVE SESSIONS box. And, you know, Illinois needed all this room... you'd best stand back... Finally, a fresh-faced and clean-cut Tony Scott: Quote
Jim Dye Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 I Believe Chuck told me that the guy with his finger in the stacks is Billy Crystal's father Jack. I just love this pic. Quote
