Abbey Lincoln born on (August 5th, 1930, Died on August 14th, 2010). I shot this backstage at the Apollo Theater during the Jazz Foundation of Americas Yearly Fundraiser and Gala. I had photographed Abbey several times performing but never before backstage. I've had the gig as one of the primary photographers for the Jazz Foundation for over a quarter of a century! This is originally a color photo and is available as such but I love the warmth and intimacy of the sepia-toned. You can see that and a few more in my alphabetical database at this link: https://www.enidfarber.com/alphabetical-database-of-musicians-and-other-luminaries/stock-photo-list-l/

Geri Allen, born on (June 12th 1957, Died on June 27th, 2017). I shot it and many more precious photos backstage at Carnegie Hall in 1991. I was profoundly sad to hear of her demise. She was just one year younger than me and died two days after my June 25th birthday from breast cancer, which I had a little bit of history of my own with. I chose to go the mastectomy route. I discovered mine very early and it had not metastasized. Geri was no so fortunate. However she left behind her many important contributions in jazz as well as the children she had with trumpeter Wallace Roney who also died way too soon. Here is a link to an article by John Murph in JazzTimes Magazine from 2004. https://jazztimes.com/features/profiles/geri-allen-mothership-connection/ which provided us with a beautifully written portrait of Geri at her home in Montclair, NJ.

Celia Cruz was born on October 21st, 1925, and died on July 16th, 2003.  I shot this photo of Celia during one of performances with the Fania All Stars at Madison Square Garden, NYC 1994. At that same show, I photographed a relatively unknown Mark Anthony (J Lo's ex) backstage when he had long flowing beautiful hair. Those photos are adorable and can be seen at in my database (https://www.enidfarber.com/alphabetical-database-of-musicians-and-other-luminaries/stock-photo-list-a/). More photos of Celia can be seen there along some iconic photos of her and Tito Puente backstage at the Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC in 1993 in my alphabetical database at this link.  (https://www.enidfarber.com/alphabetical-database-of-musicians-and-other-luminaries/stock-photo-list-c/)

Alice Coltrane was born on August 27, 1937 and died on January 12, 2007. This photo is from her appearance at Joe's Pub with son Ravi Coltrane in NYC 2002. It's the only time I was fortunate enough to photograph her but I have photographed Ravi on many occasions. My dear friend and poet Zoe Angelsey was a champion of Ravi when he was emerging as a man with enormous talent, however reticent to ride on his father, John's coattails. Zoe passed away, way too early from lung cancer in 2013. Please read about Zoe here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a258a1e0abd04962c1cae34/t/5f84989c147e743111519c55/1602525342012/Zoe+Anglesey--E+edits--for+Ishmael+Reed.pdf.

Brandee Younger was born on July 1st, 1983. I've had the pleasure to photograph her in many different venues and settings since her blast onto the scene. This was from the 2023 Winter JazzFest at the Williamsburg Opera House in Brooklyn, NY. Her expression is just what I most love about photography. It is the quintessential "decisive moment"!
