The timeless magic of big band music comes alive on stage as The Count Basie Orchestra captivates the audience at the Royal Festival Hall in London, July 18, 1980. With their impeccable musicianship and infectious energy, they transport us back to the golden era of swing. Denis Williams' captivating photograph from the 1950s captures The Count Basie Orchestra in their element during a concert. Their synchronized movements and harmonious melodies create an atmosphere that is both exhilarating and soothing. Benny Goodman, the legendary American clarinetist, mesmerizes audiences with his virtuosity. His photograph from the 20th century showcases his passion for jazz and his ability to captivate listeners with every note he plays. In 1963, Duke Ellington's band graced Finsbury Park Astoria in London with their unparalleled talent. Brian Foskett's snapshot immortalizes this iconic moment when Ellington's compositions filled the air with elegance and sophistication. Sonny Payne's presence behind the drums during Basie Band performances in the 1960s adds an electrifying rhythm that keeps audiences on their feet. Brian Foskett perfectly captures Payne's dynamic energy through his lens. Sam Woodyard, an American jazz drummer from around 1963, brings a unique flair to each performance. Brian Foskett beautifully portrays Woodyard's dedication to his craft through this evocative image. Lawrence Brown enchants listeners with his soulful trombone playing captured by Brian Foskett in 1962. Brown’s rich tones resonate deep within our hearts as we are transported into another world by his musical prowess. Frank Wess exudes coolness as he effortlessly plays saxophone during a performance in the swinging sixties. Through Brian Foskett’s lens, we witness Wess’ undeniable talent and charisma shining brightly on stage.
