Some blues photography

 If you're a regular BlueNotes reader, you probably know how much I like the blues photography of Joe Rosen, who has become one of the country's foremost practitioners of capturing the blues with a camera. Joe is based in New York now, but graduated from CMU and haunted blues clubs in the Burgh for a few years after that, back in the 1970s.

He's just sent along a note about his coverage of two recent New Orleans musical events, and photo galleries from those festivals now available at ModernGuitars.com

Here's Joe's work from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and here's another gallery from the Ponderosa Stomp. Enjoy.

Unlike earlier photos,  these pictures make more sense with captions...thanks!!

For Joe Rosen, who I met many years ago,  I dug around for some appropriate video and here's what I came up with. Something completely different. I couldn't decide on just one so here's a big bunch.  Taken together, I think these are some pretty amazing performances (regardless of the quality of the recording) but you be the judge. Enjoy.
