Bob Willoughby, "Big Jay McNeely Driving the Crowd at the Olympic Auditorium into a Frenzy"
1953
I chose this photograph because it describes in the best way possible what different kinds of emotions people encounter at concerts. I am a huge music fan and go to many concerts and it is very difficult to capture the emotions I feel when I am in the audience. This image provides a perfect still of what it was like at a Jazz concert in 1953. It reminds me of my enormous energy I bring to concerts. In my opinion, music gives me the opportunity to escape from future anxiety and be in the moment. This picture reflects the way I feel about music and provides the exact reason I am in love with Jazz.
