Fantastic musicall portrait, and the leather and fur coat seems so incongruous in this photo, makes it doubly interesting :)

On sent l'intensité que la femme met pour chanter (j'espère aussi que son manteau c'est pas de la vrai fourrure !!), mais les hommes paraissent tellement sérieux, on dirait presque qu'ils s'ennuient ou alors ils sont très concentrés...

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks! Yes... no water bottles at all! (I'll just have to live with it, I guess...)

nice capture. i think though that there's something really weird about photos of people singing, especially with such gesturing, and not hearing the sound. it's funny. like someone striking a pose :)

@danthro: Glad you like it. I guess you're right about photos like this of singers performing. For me, in this case, I have the memory of seeing this great artist live that day. Your comment gives me another excuse to urge all lovers of jazz and good singing in general to click on the link to Catherine Hunter's page. Then you can have this photo of her on screen while you listen to the short clips from her latest CD.
