DAVID REDFERN'S JAZZ ALBUM

From the d.j.: "David Redfern is one of those rare people who makes a living out of combining his favourite pastimes: listening to jazz and photographing people. A self-taught photographer, he began his career in the twilight jazz clubs of London." "By the mid-sixties he realized that if he wanted to break fully into the commercial world, and at the same time broaden his own jazz education, he had to chase the big names who came mostly from the States. To this end, he became a regular visitor at jazz festivals in Antibes, Montreux, and Newport--where he got to know many of the musicians he had photographed. People like Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton and Buddy Rich." "He can now fairly claim to be the premier jazz photographer of today." (1980)
