#1: What's he looking at? Not the best moment IMO. Also, the mic stand is in the way & some oddities in the edge of the frame I'd crop out.
#2: Looks like pretty good use of bounced fill flash?
Bit distracted by the arm of the drummer and the mic growing out of his head...

Thanks. All points well taken. I had a limited angle of view, so it was hard to get Seamus clean. Here I post a few more of the same concert. Adam Nussbaum on drums and Jay anderson on bass. No flash, all available light.

I like the last.

As do I, and the one before that explains what the guy in image #1 is looking at ;)

I notice this kind of 'checking on the other musicians' quite often. The issues seem to be when: (1) they continue to watch and watch the other guy rather than the audience for long periods, and (2) when they turn their heads rather than their whole bodies, in a 'looking over the shoulder quickly' kind of pose. As I note often, the more professional a group is, the better they play for the photographers.

This happens all the time in small jazz ensembles. It is a way of sharing the energy with your fellow musicians, but also keeping track of what's going to happen next, which is often more unpredictable in jazz than in other music genres. By the end of his career, Miles Davies was playing with his back to the public. But that's an entirely different thing ...;)
