Ron Carter Foursight Quartet in Paris

[dale]

Wow Simon, this is fantastic, Jack DeJohnette (the legend) who hasn't he played with , Davis Monk, Rollins, Bill Evans(my hero), Jarret ....and on and on.
I haven't listened enough to Scott Colley, I'll definitely have to pay more attention.
Your life (outside SketchUp) sure ain't boring.
Cheers (haven't had a chance to watch the "Afro Cuban Project" yet)

Hi Mitcorb,
You are right. I had noticed this wrong autoplay too. This is the default behavior "on site" itself. So I don't know how I can link them with choice of play.

presentation changed. Now you can clic pictures to link

Hey Simon
Thanks again. I was re-visiting Camera licida just yesterday, as for some reason I'm really enjoying choral work while I'm modeling. Just started to go through your new work, starting with L'Orchestre de Paris
There is some very beautiful cello in the second piece and the close up camera work is exquisite.
What camera position were you?
Keep them coming.
Cheers

[simon le bon]

Dear Dale,

Always the same pleasure to read your nice comments. I don't know from who are the beautiful pictures you describe. additionally to the great choral concert it was, it was a special and rare pleasure to work for the pictures with such a talented team. I wish this can happen to each one...

I was situated far away in a central position with a somptuous telephoto lens. I was doing large and very close shots...

Now I'm leaving home for three nights of "Rock en Roll" on the seaside at Saint-Malo!!

shall send the links,

simon

PS: I keep a constant enjoyed eye on your "A Thread for Fine Design"

A long time since I have reported my work

This one is dedicated to Dale Stephens who had been kind enough to ask for my news

This was a precious concert of Nathalie Stutzmann (singer and director at the same time), playing Vivaldi and Haendel. The concert had been recorded at the "Cité de la Musique" in Paris on 17 of november 2011 , .
Available until 17 march 2012

This is the third time I record this so great artist with her own group based in Metz.
please clic the picture to link

and here is the program:

Bonjour à toi mon cher Pilou

Simon
Here is a little rendering for you. A room that is a tribute to music.
From the model....
Cheers
Listening to Django

[simon le bon]

very nice drawing and render dear Dale, thank you (Pictures downloaded )
The atmosphere for "Jazz". At night when everything is low: the light , the city , home,, and there a voice, a saxo, a piano....
It seems to me that I recognize Aretha (or Nina?) at the piano, Billie in the close up, I don't know who is at the saxo.

Cheers,
simon

The Sonny Stitt is real stunning jazz mood visual.

Born in Allentown, PA in 1923, Herman chose to attend Ohio University in Athens, the only university at the time to offer a degree in Photography. Herman's jazz photographs, now collector's items, are a unique record of the jazz scene of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Leonard’s work is held in The Smithsonian’s collection, Jazz at Lincoln Center, NY, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA, and the George Eastman House, NY, as well as the private collections of Sir Elton John, Bruce Bernard and His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand.
