EDITORS COMMENTS
Dennis Mathews, Managing Director of Crescendo International, engages in a lively conversation with renowned American alto saxophonist Lee Konitz at the Newport Jazz Festival held at Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. The year was 1978, and this photograph captures a moment of musical brilliance amidst the backdrop of a football ground. In this monochrome portrait, Dennis Mathews stands tall beside Lee Konitz, both men exuding an air of passion for their respective crafts. With his spectacles perched on his nose and hands covering his ears as if to better absorb every note played by Konitz's saxophone, Mathews is clearly engrossed in the music that fills the air. The image not only showcases two individuals from different countries coming together through their shared love for jazz but also highlights the power of art to transcend boundaries. As publisher Denis Williams captures this remarkable encounter between two great minds in music history, it becomes evident that conversations like these have the potential to shape careers and inspire future generations. This snapshot freezes time during one unforgettable moment at Ayresome Park – a place typically associated with football matches – transforming it into an extraordinary stage where creativity thrives. Through this photograph, we glimpse into a world where sports and arts converge harmoniously, reminding us that beauty can be found even in unexpected places.
