Django's Tiger

I have taken many photographs during this calendar year but not as many as I should have liked have found their way onto this blog.   However, on Sunday afternoon I'd been alerted to a Django's Tiger gig being held at Hot Numbers Cafe in Cambridge.   It was a lovely warm place to be, after dark, and after a day of snow. and before the coldest night of the year to follow.

I wasn't expecting to be taking photographs on this visit but I had a compact Sony RX100 with me and as I know Damian (Rythmn Guitar) he was happy that I should take some images, and here they are - not perfect but reminiscent of the atmosphere.

I was most impressed with the way in which the musicians look to one another so carefully and respectfully:  I hadn't realised that other than the beginning of each piece the musicians are improvising!   I thoroughly enjoyed my time listening to them.   They are excellent!

I hadn't realised you like jazz. I've been to Hot Numbers several times and knew it had jazz sessions, but have never managed to get there - must remedy that.

Good collection of pictures that capture both the individuals and the atmosphere of the place. Both colour and B & W work well. Think I prefer the latter - I associate jazz with atmospheric low key images.

Good to see you blogging again.
