IMAGE & IDENTITY ©adrianamateo

These are a series of lectures inspired in today’s millennium of social media in where “we hear with our eyes”,being image and identity more important than it ever was.

While the primary and most direct link to this legacy in education is through the music itself (performance, composition, theory, history), photography plays a significant and valuable supporting role in understanding and preserving that legacy.

LECTURE DESCRIPTION : This lecture focuses on the strong bond  that exists between Sound and Image. 

The presentation consists of a  selected projection of images of NEA Jazz Masters that passed thru my lens such as Cedar Walton , Sonny Rollins, Dave Brubeck , Jimmy Heath , Frank Wess, Ron Carter to name a few ,  to contemporary Jazz American musicians ,  from backstage to live and portrait sharing with the students  my personal relationship with them as their personal photographer.
