Jazz Masters I ♬ "Jam Session" ▻ 4K Loop

★★★★★ "Jam Session" inspired by “Jammin´ the Blues”, - a short film made in the studio by the photographer Gjon Mili in 1944 and in which he recreates a jam session led by Lester Young-, I build this scene with some of the figures of the time: pianist Count Basie, trumpeter Miles Davis, trombonist Melba Liston, Blackie (Gjon's cat), saxophonists Lester Young and Charlie Parker, singer Billie Holyday, pianist Duke Ellington, drummer Art Blakey, guitarist Charlie Christian , double bassist Charles Mingus, dancers Willa Mae Ricker and Leon James, and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie · Looped echoes of Lester Young band · Additional special mention to photographers Herman Leonard and William Gottlieb. ❯❯❯ ❯❯❯ ❯❯❯ “Crazy Loops” is a series of eight video essays with a max. of 60 seconds in which I condense the spirit of some artists, movies and songs in the form of hypnotic loops - animated .gifs - made with clippings of historical images, recreating locations and settings, and animating them frame by frame • In addition to the reconstruction of the characters, their staging and dramatic composition through scenery and lighting, I incorporate a musical loop taken from the original soundtracks • #gjonmili #countbasie #milesdavis #melbaliston #lesteryoung #charlieparker #billieholyday #artblakey #charliechristian #charlesmingus #willamaericker #dizzygillespie #hermanleonard #williamgottlieb #animatedcollage #audiovisualessay #graphicorama • Graphic-O-Rama • Crazy Loops • http://www.alaystudio.com
