Arvell Shaw. Festival du Jazz, Cannes 1958.

Bassist Arvell Shaw is captured in a moment of intense concentration during a performance at the Festival du Jazz in Cannes, 1958. Angled towards his upright bass, his expression is focused as he looks down, one hand high on the neck fingering the strings while the other plucks them. Dramatic, low-key lighting illuminates his face and hands, as well as the curves of the instrument, against a completely dark background, capturing the intimate energy of a live performance.
