Richard Niles and Kate Winter at Ealing Jazz Festival

Last Sunday I had a great pleasure to photograph Richard Niles with his 7 piece band performing at the Ealing Jazz Festival. It was a unique experience.

First I watched those great musicians all chilled out...

...then, when it was time for it...

...they started getting ready to perform.

Last few words before getting on stage...

...and what a shame you can't hear the music they played while you are watching the photos!

The above b&w photos were taken on film.

Below there are a few digital snaps.

And that's what it looked like after the gig...
