I captured this image of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra together with the Boys Choir of Harlem in December 2004 during my internship at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where part of my job was to document the rehearsals. I like this shot for a number of reasons. Some of which I was aware of while shooting, some I discovered later in printing. Wynton Marsalis is framed by his rhythm section and the sheet music that Herlin Riley, legendary drummer, is holding at just the right angle. To the right stands bassist Carlos Henriquez.
