Letter From The Editor
pages before, my late father David Redfern was a well-regarded music photographer. And although he photographed most of the classic rock legends of the 1960s and 1970s (he was on the Magical Mystery Tour with The Beatles and took some iconic live photos of Jimi Hendrix, for two examples), his main musical passion was jazz. As I boy I tagged along to jazz festivals in England and France and was generally the only child allowed in London’s famed Ronnie Scott’s.) In Damien Chazelle’s 2014 Oscar-winning film , the main character, aspiring jazz drummer Andrew Neiman (played by Miles Teller), idolizes Rich and has a photo of him hanging over his drum kit that he uses as inspiration. My father took that photo.
