Book Signing with Ron Hudon, the Monterey Jazz Festival's oldest living photographer
09-16-2009 to 09-16-2009
Location:
1320 Fillmore Street
San Francisco, CA CA
The Monterey Jazz Festival 's oldest
surviving jazz photographer, Ron Hudson, will sign his highly acclaimed jazz book, Right Down Front Ron Hudson Jazz Images
at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept.
16 at Lush Life Lounge at San
Francisco's
Jazz
Heritage
Center,
1320 Fillmore
Street, San
Francisco.
The soon to be 70-year-old Hudson,who
attended his first MJF in 1959, began photographing artists in
1973.
He's used six cameras, (all Nikon), worn
out 12 lenses, and burned up enough 35mm black-and-white film to wrap up the Bay
Area.
His book and portraits, prized by jazz
artists, collected by fans, and on permanent exhibit at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley
in Seattle, capture all the
emotion of live performance.
"As Coltrane was to the tenor, Miles to
the trumpet, Rich to the drums, Brubeck to the piano, Ella to the voice, Ron
Hudson is to the camera," jazz artist/writer Michael Chatfield wrote in Carmel magazine."Although the photos are
silent, they loudly convey the raw energy and spontaneity of a transcendent jazz
performance."
More than 100 of
Hudson's favorite
images appear in Right Down Front Ron
Hudson-Jazz Images, also available at Borders Music & Books in
Sand
City during the 52nd
Monterey Jazz Festival this weekend.
Which turns out to be
Hudson's
50th.
