music

I became a fan of Carmel in the first 10 seconds I heard her first album released in 1984. I immediately loved her voice and the groove brought in by Jim Parris and Gerry Darby, I had the chance to see her for the first time in Montreux in 1984 and heard her again when she came to Geneva in 1986, where I managed to meet her and show her some of the photos of Montreux.

I had scanned and published the slides of the 1986 concert in 2010 already, but had not yet scanned those black&white photos taken in 1984 in Montreux. I only remembered that these BW photos were much better than the color slides taken in 1986, for reasons old photographers all know, I might come back to that topic one day.

I only found one of the prints I made in those days but was surprised to see that it had been signed by Carmel, which I had completely forgotten about. Anyway, it was fun to see those old negatives again.
