Description of the exhibit - " I first met and began photographing AIR musicians in 1992 at a rehearsal of the J-Town Jazz Ensemble; Francis and Mark were mentoring the band. I had not known of the existence of a collective of such talented Asian American jazz musicians in the Bay Area - I knew then and there that I wanted to photograph these folks. Since that time I have befriended many musicians associated with AIR and continued to photograph the Asian American jazz movement - some 15 wonderful years. My photographs by choice are in black and white - I take a lot of photos, but show only a few, selecting only those that best represent the spirit, soul, 'chi', whatever you want to call it, of the music. The exhibit does not claim to be comprehensive, but I hope that it gives an inkling of the spirit that infuses the movement. My congratulations to Asian Improv Arts on its 20th anniversary of advocating for social justice through music. Long may the movement continue to flourish!" Andy |
