JACQUES BISCEGLIA Trumpeter Don Cherry Paris 1965
JACQUES BISCEGLIA. Flutist Don Cherry, Paris, 1965. 15.3 x 10.1" gelatin silver print mounted on board. Printed 1965. Photographer's stamp in black ink on print verso; inscribed in red ink: Don Cherry, Paris 1965.
Beautiful outdoor portrait of Jazz Legend Don Cherry in Paris, France.
Jacques Bisceglia (1940-2013) was born in Paris. French photographer Marc Garanger provided him with his first real exposure to photography from 1960-1962, while they were both stationed in Algeria.
Bisceglia began to specialize in jazz photography after he was lent a camera by cornet player Rex Stewart in 1965. To date he has made over 200,000 photographs, including 80,000 in color. He has taken virtually all of the jazz greats during this period. His photographs have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers in France and internationally, including Current, Jazz Magazine, Hot Jazz, Jazzman, Traditional Jazz, Free sounds, Afro-music, Release, the Express train, Words and Musics, Telerama, Cable hebdo, Telecable Hebdo, Satellite Channel, TV Hebdo, Resonance (Ircam), Reexamined City of the Music, Tuning fork, the Bottom of Aisne, History & Inheritance no. 4; Paris, Paris Match, Happy Down, The Voice Village, Melody Maker, The Wire, World Jazz, Jazz Forum, Svenska Dagbladet, Swing Newspaper, Epoca, and many others.
He also has credits on over a hundred jazz albums. Bisceglia's photographs have illustrated virtually every important jazz book produced from the 1960s on.
Don Cherry (1936-1995) was one of the most lyrical and important jazz trumpeters. Mr. Cherry used a pocket cornet -- a shrunken cornet -- to get an open, quiet sound. He managed emotionally charged statements without force, and his playing radiated fragility, as if he had come to his style without study.
He began his career studying the works of the trumpeter Fats Navarro, and his playing was often a lyrical paraphrase of be-bop ideas without a wasted note. By the end of his life, his music incorporated funk and ethnic musics from around the world, fusing his avant-garde vocabulary with folk and pop music. In describing his studies to the drummer Art Taylor for the book "Notes and Tones" (Da Capo Press, 1993), Mr. Cherry said, "First it was form, then phrasing and then sound, always sound."
