IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY

ABOUT THESE IMAGESLOVE SUPREME WAS HELD OVER TWO DAYS IN JULY IN THE GROUNDS OF GLYNDE PLACE, THE FAMILY HOME OF THE VISCOUNTS HAMPDEN NEAR LEWES IN EAST SUSSEX. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME A MAJOR FESTIVAL HAD TAKEN PLACE AT GLYNDE AND CONTRARY TO ITS NAME, THE EVENT DREW AN ECLECTIC MUSICAL LINE-UP. I WAS THERE ON THE SATURDAY, DRAWN BY NILE RODGERS AND BRYAN FERRY. THE FESTIVAL HAD A NICE RELAXED ATMOSPHERE AND, FOR A FIRST TIME EVENT, WAS VERY WELL-ORGANISED. MY HIGHLIGHTS WERE 64-YEAR-OLD CHARLES BRADLEY, WHO I’D NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE AND YET ANOTHER EFFERVESCENT SET FROM NILE RODGERS AND CHIC. HEADLINER, BRYAN FERRY, WAS FRANKLY DISAPPOINTING, DEBUTING HIS BRYAN FERRY ORCHESTRA AND PLAYING TWENTIES STYLE JAZZ VERSIONS OF HIS CLASSICS. FOR ME, IT WASN’T HIS FINEST HOUR AND, SADLY, MY SHOTS OF HIM WEREN’T THAT GOOD EITHER. HOWEVER, I WAS MUCH MORE PLEASED WITH THE OTHER IMAGES I GOT AT LOVE SUPREME, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE SCREAMING EAGLE OF SOUL. I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, TOO.

IMAGES OFLOVE SUPREME JAZZ FESTIVAL

this is 64 year-old charles bradley, the screaming eagle of soul

after spending MANY years as a james brown impersonator, charles recorded his first album at the age of 62!

last year, michael kiwanuka won the bbc’s sound of 2012 poll

this is one of my favourite portraits from love supreme

the guitarist in michael kiwanuka’s band had a striking look

he also had quite some guitar strap!

the hitmaker. the legend that is nile rodgers.

chic’s folami is always great to photograph

i love this shot of chic singer kimberly davis. so much personality!

the big man on the bass, chic’s jerry barnes

it’s always good times when chic are onstage!

he always wears white, he always plays that guitar . it’s called the hitmaker!

check out those eyelashes!

nile is always wears a beret and a big smile

he spent most of the time in the shadows and the lighting did him no favours

bryan ferry’s talented young guitarist

a rare venture out of the shadows
