EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lionel Hampton Orchestra in concert at Colston Hall, Bristol, 1956. In this print captured by Denis Williams, we witness a moment of pure musical brilliance. The legendary bandleader Lionel Hampton stands on stage, his eyes fixed on the tenor saxophonist Eddie Chamblee as he unleashes a mesmerizing solo. The year is 1956, and the atmosphere is electric with the soulful sounds of jazz filling the air. The band members are dressed impeccably in suits, their instruments gleaming under the spotlight. As Hampton watches intently from behind his vibraphone, Chamblee's saxophone becomes an extension of himself - his fingers dancing effortlessly across its keys. This image not only captures a historic performance but also represents a significant era in American music history. It showcases African American excellence and creativity during a time when racial barriers were still prevalent. Through their artistry and talent, these musicians broke down boundaries and united people through their love for jazz. Colston Hall has long been recognized as one of England's premier venues for live music performances. Though it may be long gone now, this photograph serves as a reminder of its rich cultural heritage. Paul Kaufman expertly preserves this moment in time through monochrome photography; each detail carefully etched into the frame forever. This print allows us to relive that night in 1956 when two musical giants collided on stage - Lionel Hampton leading his orchestra while Eddie Chamblee took
