Art Blakey Big Band in Edinburgh, 1987

A drummer lifts a stick, a brass section gathers breath, a glance passes between musicians and the structure of a performance becomes visible for a fraction of a second. The Robert Harper archive records the Art Blakey Big Band in Edinburgh in 1987 with precisely that historical focus.
