EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary jazz musician John Handy in action at the Capital Radio Jazz Festival held at Alexandra Palace in London, 1979. With his alto saxophone pressed against his lips, Handy effortlessly transports the audience to a world of soulful melodies and rhythmic beats. Dressed impeccably in stylish attire that reflects both his African American heritage and contemporary fashion trends of the time, Handy stands as an iconic figure on stage. His hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble while emphasizing his status as a true jazz virtuoso. The grandeur of Alexandra Palace serves as a majestic backdrop for this momentous performance. The metal framework of the building creates an intriguing contrast against Handy's smooth brass instrument, symbolizing the harmonious fusion between man-made structures and artistic expression. Brian Foskett skillfully captures not only Handy's musical prowess but also his charismatic presence. This portrait showcases not just a talented musician but also a cultural icon who has left an indelible mark on the history of jazz. Preserved by the National Jazz Archive, this photograph is more than just a snapshot from one night; it represents an era when music transcended boundaries and united people from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that great artistry knows no limits - be it country or race - leaving an everlasting impact on those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.
