The passing of Alvin Fielder January 5, 2019 has ended this trio, but Kidd and Joel will carry on. The Kidd Jordan-Joel Futterman-Alvin Fielder Trio had brought 'listening' to a new level. They have a number of recordings and appeared at various Vision Festival in New York, the Tampere Festival in Finland & other national and international venues . My page has lots of photos and information about their CDs, some with my photos.
	Sun Ra was a great treat to hear and a wonderful subject to photograph. His listeners seems to grow daily, despite his departure from this planet in 1993. I offer a sample gallery of photos of Sun Ra, his compatriots, and the Sun Ra Arkestra now led by Marshall Allen - that is delightfully carrying on his music and memory.
	Lester Bowie was the most important trumpeter of the last 30 years, but was marginalized by the media and industry as "avant garde" - despite his obvious cross-over appeal. Lester personified both the best of the music and the worst of the problems in the music business. In tribute to Lester, I present a gallery of photos selected from the many I was delighted to take of this great artist.
	Byron Morris led Unity beginning in the '70s, and the band had been reenergized with the additions of Hilton Ruiz on piano and Eddie Allen on trumpet and musical director. I did the graphic layout and interior photography for their CD, "Live at the East Coast Jazz Festival." Their last CD was "Byron Morris & Unity Y2K" for which I did the photogrpahy and graphic layout, and collaborated with Byron on the design.
