Good editing by big Luke the Editor as well as nice sound recording by Benjamin and of course steady cameras by the Mochilla crew aided by Todd Mazer. Theres a few nice cameos in there too keep your eyes peeled!

We also recorded four new joints with Azymuth but I cant really reveal more than that right now.

Also bad news this week from Recife. Maestre Salustiano, the stalwarth of the powerful regional scene there passed this weekend. May he light up the heavens with his Rabecca. The new Recife trailer will be here soon stay tuned…

October 13, 2008 - william claxton

Wow – there is something in the air. William Claxton a true god of jazz photography has passed at the age of 80. His work inspired many a music photographer over the years. He could be seen in Samy’s Camera store from time to time just wandering about. We are so lucky here in Los Angeles. His work is timeless and his contribution was enormous. If you don’t know his work see here http://www.williamclaxton.com/movie.html
Our condolences go out to his family and all who knew him.

As part of the funeral service his family wanted to make a slide show to illustrate his incredible and diverse life. In fourteen insane hours myself and Coleman and brilliant editor Luke Lynch put this together. Thanks to the Palmer family for letting us share it with you. Earl we love you, we will miss you but we feel assured that the party just got better in Heaven.

RECORD DEALERS

How many of these stores are gone now. I started this series in 1996, then it seemed like a way to record all the strange and wonderful characters that I came across in the search for records. Now it seems that this a view into a world that is disappearing fast. There’s many more in this series and I will put them up soon.
