Israel "Cachao" Lopez with Bajo at Jazz at Lincoln Center. NY Times 1/31/2006

This was a great moment. Cachoa and the flutist in the shot had been jamming back and forth, improvising with the whole orchestra listening in silence and the audience completely still. Cachoa was completely focused on what the flutist was doing and I shot this just as the back and forth ended. There was complete silence in the hall and my click was the first noise just a split second prior to thunderous applause from the audience and the orchestra.
