Guy Le Querrec---Jeanne

This photograph was taken by Guy Le Querrec (French, b. 1941).  This was taken in France in 1964 and it's titled, "CHARLIE MINGUS SEXTET."  According to the description given, one of the members of this bad had to be taken to the hospital in the middle of the performance.  I think this emotion can be seen on the face of the  musician here.  I was drawn to this photograph because of the strong diagonal line which gradually guides your eye from the top of the photograph to the bottom.  There is a lot of emotion on the face of the musician, which I think is emphasized by making the photo black and white.
