My friend Mike Wantz has a pass to get into the Crocker Art Museum to shoot their Third Thursday Jazz shows that are put on in the museum patio. Mike shoots these and other events for the museum for their use and gets stuff published in their brochures. I tagged along and got in free with Mikes’s pass and we shot photos of the Garrett Perkins Project as they played for about 150 people. Their tight, upbeat jazz got the crowd feeling good. We could move around at will and I selected few shots for today’s post.
It was hot, but thankfully we were in the shade.
Another shot showing part of the museum architecture.
At the end of the show some fans came up and had a moment with the leader/sax player.
Outside the museum I fired off a couple quick shots of the construction going on for possible submission to the calendar (see previous post).
We got access to the museum as well, and took advantage of that to see the Maxfield Parrish prints on display. Good stuff!
