Roy Eldridge and J.C. Heard (drums). Festival du Jazz, Cannes 1958.

With eyes closed in concentration, trumpeter Roy Eldridge is captured in profile during a performance at the Festival du Jazz in Cannes, 1958. His right hand is poised over the instrument’s valves as its shiny metal reflects the stage light. In the blurred background, drummer J.C. Heard looks on with a smile. The focused lighting on Eldridge creates an intimate mood against the dark stage curtain.
