EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary B. B. King in his element during the Capital Radio Jazz Festival at Alexandra Palace in London, 1979. The image, taken by Brian Foskett, showcases the iconic blues guitarist and singer-songwriter as he mesmerizes the crowd with his soulful performance. The backdrop of Alexandra Palace adds to the grandeur of this historic moment in music history. The canopy above the stage creates a dramatic effect, highlighting King's presence as he effortlessly strums his guitar, pouring out heartfelt melodies that resonate with every listener. Surrounded by an enthusiastic audience, B. B. King exudes charisma and passion through his music. His talent transcends borders and cultures, making him a beloved figure not only in America but also around the world.
