Way back in May 2010, I was asked to take some promo shots of Mighty Groove, a Boston wedding and event band.

Recently, the trombonist from Mighty Groove, Randy, asked if I could take photos of his jazz group, The Olson Pingrey Quartet. Here are some posed and live shots from their CD release at The Lilypad in Cambridge, MA on October 23, 2011.

I had a bit of fun with some of the individual portraits and put them together into a collage:

In June, I had the pleasure of participating in Murder Ballads ORG, a night of performances at Oberon curated by Mali Sastri of Jaggery. Mali and her band performed their new EP, “Private Violence,” in full, and I played flute for the second song, “Hostage Heart,” which was written by Mali and arranged and conducted by Mary Bichner of Box Five. Here’s video of the entire Jaggery set, shot by Alexia Prichard:

During the rest of the show, I took a lot of photos; you can view them on Facebook. Some favorites:
