Description

Jimmy Katz has been photographing the who's who of jazz and music for 30 years. Here, Ray Charles is caught in a fit of laughter – when you're nicknamed The Genius, as he was, you better keep a sense of humor! Ray Charles is considered one of the most iconic and influential singers of all time. Who can ever forget her rendition of “Georgia on my mind"?

MEDIUM: Archival digital photographic print (unframed)

OPEN EDITION: Each print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Printed by the artist. Inks and papers are archives. The paper has a substantial feel and a smooth surface with some luster (it is not matte).

Presentation

Jimmy Katz was born in New York, USA, in 1957 and studied photography with John McKee at Bowdoin College. Over the past 30 years, Katz has worked on nearly 580 recording projects, more than 200 magazine covers and hundreds of articles – more than any modern photographer documenting jazz.

In 2018, Katz founded Giant Step Arts, a nonprofit organization that documents some of the most important jazz musicians of this era. Katz designs projects and does photography and design with his wife Dena; musicians retain ownership of the recordings and can sell their music.

Katz received the Jazz Journalists Association Excellence in Photography Award in 2006 and 2011. He has worked with many luminaries, including Ray Charles, BB King, Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins, Keith Jarrett, Ornette Coleman, Chris Potter, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Dizzy Gillespie, Tony Bennett and Tito Puente.
