EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dynamic duo of Charles McPherson and John Gordon at the Newport Jazz Festival in Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough, in July 1978. Both African American musicians are seen passionately playing their respective instruments - McPherson on alto saxophone and Gordon on trombone. Their undeniable talent is evident as they effortlessly create soulful melodies that fill the air with jazz magic. The image showcases not only their musical prowess but also their unique sense of style. McPherson's afro hairstyle adds a touch of flair to his dapper suit, while Gordon exudes coolness in his fashionable attire. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the timeless quality of this momentous occasion. Set against the backdrop of Ayresome Park, a football ground known for its rich history, this photograph beautifully juxtaposes two art forms - music and sport. It serves as a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries or limitations. McPherson and Gordon's performance at this festival undoubtedly left an indelible mark on both jazz enthusiasts and attendees alike. Their collaboration represents the harmonious blending of different cultures and genres within America's vibrant music scene. Preserved through time by photographer Denis Williams, this remarkable image stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of these talented musicians who continue to inspire generations with their extraordinary contributions to jazz music.
