"Capturing the Soulful Sounds: A Journey through Trumpet Players" From the iconic Miles Davis Quintet in 1960 to Maynard Ferguson's electrifying performance in 2000, Brian Foskett's lens has immortalized some of the greatest trumpet players of our time. His photographs transport us back to historic moments, like Humphrey Lyttelton and Sidney Bechet's mesmerizing collaboration at Colston Hall in Bristol, 1956. Foskett's work showcases not only the legendary musicians but also their undeniable passion for their craft. In his photograph of Lee Morgan in 1961, we witness a young artist pouring his heart into every note he plays. The intensity is palpable as Miles Davis takes center stage at Royal Festival Hall in London, 1989; Brian O'Connor captures this moment perfectly. But Foskett doesn't limit himself to contemporary artists alone. He delves into history with a captivating image of The Distin Family from 1844—an early testament to the enduring allure of trumpet music. Jean Limbourg's depiction of May playing her instrument amidst the medieval town of Riom transports us even further back in time, reminding us that this art form has captivated audiences for centuries. The photographer returns to more recent times with another snapshot from Miles Davis Quintet's performance at Hammersmith, London, in 1967—a reminder that their influence transcends generations. Wynton Marsalis' commanding presence on stage during Capital Jazz at Royal Festival Hall leaves no doubt about his virtuosity and mastery over his instrument—Brian O'Connor beautifully captures this moment. Foskett concludes his collection with yet another striking portrait by Brian Foskett—Lee Morgan once again steals the show with his charisma and skill shining through every frame. And finally, George Melly accompanied by Mick Mulligan Band at Beaulieu Jazz Festival in Hampshire brings an infectious energy that is impossible to resist.
