Roberto Morbioli – Backpage Cafe, Lowell MA


2016 photo100 – #13

We’ve seen Roberto several times now and he never fails to impress.

The lighting in this venue contiues to vex me. I swear the color temp. changes with every shot. It’s basically a bar with a band setup at one end with two or three small spots. I think they have different bulbs in each one.

Cirque de Light – 2016 Lowell Winterfest

I am working on full series from this performance but I couldn’t wait to share this one. I pressed the shutter several hundred times over the course of 2 performances of this group — mezmerizing does not begin to describe it.

Happy Birthday to Magic Sam & Maceo Parker

Samuel "Magic Sam" Gene Maghett (February 14, 1937 – December 1, 1969) was an American Chicago blues musician. Maghett was born in Grenada, Mississippi, and learned to play the blues from listening to records by Muddy Waters and Little Walter. After moving to Chicago at the age of 19, he was signed by Cobra Records and became well known as a bluesman after his first record, "All Your Love" in 1957. He was known for his distinctive tremolo-guitar playing.

Maceo Parker born February 14, 1943) is an American funk and soul jazz saxophonist, best known for his work with James Brown in the 1960s, as well as Parliament-Funkadelic in the 1970s. Parker was a prominent soloist on many of Brown's hit recordings, and a key part of his band, playing alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Since the early 1990s, he has toured under his own name.
