"Visual Quotations"
                  Photographs by Richard Freeman


These are performers of whom I only have a couple of shots, and thus they don't get their own portfolio. I want to state here for the record, this has nothing at all to do with the quality of their musicianship nor the performance. It's just how things turned out.

Sun Ra 1
Sun Ra - Groningen Jazz Festival, Groningen, Netherlands - 1979



I had no idea who this was. My friend and I were hitchhiking to Amsterdam. We got a ride from a Belgian journalist going to cover the last day of the Groningen Jazz Fest. He had an extra pass and invited us along, and dropped us off in Amsterdam early the next morning. Sun Ra was the closing act, scheduled to take the stage at midnight. Talk about long, strange trips. Wow!
