Shepp and Stitt

Archie Shepp is one of many fine sax players critics loved & jazz fans enjoyed but remained undiscovered by the general population lol. His discography is endless in various trios, combos, big band. His style is approachable without being tepid or formulaic. Each has a different sensibility & his sax sounds is sweet & melodic, most of the time.

JK in the Jazz Age

I'm getting a forties and fifties jazz club vibe from this shoot rather than the perhaps intended 1920s jazz age. Come with JK back to the smokey New York basement bars of the time where the brightest stars in the jazz firmament were at the peak of their powers.

"Sonny Stitt, NYC," 1953.

This photo of JK does something to me. A waistcoat is such a sexy article of clothing, and one that both guys and dolls look hot in.
