And what a voice! Her name is Teresa Marie and she sings with a local band, The People Brothers.

 

MM/90 Elmarit (ISO 2500)

I Googled her and the band, and found only one video on YouTube. It wasn't of sufficient fidelity to tell anything about her voice or the band. 

 

American music lost two incredibly gifted black women the last year. First, Sharon Jones; and now Aretha.

 

I hope Terry Marie steps forward to fill that void. 

 

Great pic, Brent.

Thanks much Louis and Allan.

 

Allan, my guess is that Teresa doesn't aspire to national or international recognition. The band has been together for ten years and has pretty much stayed local. Madison is fortunate in that many musicians and artists who could easily be on the big stage choose to stay here because the city is so beautiful and the lifestyle so pleasant. Two other examples of this are jazz pianist and composer Ben Sidran and the late, great Clyde Stubblefield, known as "the funky drummer." I think Teresa may fall into that category.

I thought it might be interesting to show what the image above was derived from. The CCD sensor in the original MM is so good one can take a small crop from a frame shot at 2500 ISO and still retain excellent image quality. The original Monochrom is my favorite Leica camera of all time.

Brent,

 

Lovely shot. I almost prefer the uncropped original. I see too many close up gig shots nowadays and I like to see the space and the other members of the band.

 

Charlie

Thanks, Charlie. I also like full band shots, but generally just when they're taken from a unique angle or when there's dramatic lighting. In this case, I shot with the intention of cropping, which is why there are only pieces of other band members showing on the sides of the frame.

Cheers,
