Nigel Kennedy and his Polish quintet appeared at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and I was there to photograph the event. He performed to a packed house, and the concert was well received, but I am always a little unsure about the validity of 'cross-genre' musicians who try, usually unsuccessfully, to have a foot in two camps. The two things I would say is that firstly the audience enjoyed it (including a charming young lady of maybe 10 in the front row), and secondly the Polish performers who backed Mr. Kennedy gave a great performance. I felt this image captured the atmosphere of the concert - but can Nigel play jazz? As far as I am concerned the jury is still out on that one!
