About Jazzfest Archives
Jazzfest Archives is an online art exhibit dedicated to sharing the New
Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival experience through the photography
of Dino Perrucci.The scale of Dino's photography (during the 2003 Jazz
Festival, he photographed 97 different live music performances) reflects
the scale of the festival itself. Each year, thousands of musicians and
festival-goers make the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival an unforgettable
event. Dino's photography captures the sights, sounds, and emotions that
make up Jazzfest. Bring that experience home with limited edition prints
of any photo found on the site.
Why an online exhibit?
Due to the scale of the Jazzfest Archives exhibit (there are over 1,300
photos to view!), a physical gallery space would be hard-pressed to showcase
all our images. An online gallery allows our visitors to browse the exhibit
in a manner of their own choosing and easily purchase limited edition
prints of any photo they find. The photos can be
viewed by date, by artist or band, by location, or randomly. Our guests
are free to create a custom viewing experience each time they visit the
gallery.
About Dino Perrucci
"I remember coming home from my first concert, Def Leppard at the
Nassau Coliseum, and thinking how can I relive that experience?"
says Dino Perrucci. "I was hooked from the very beginning, the sounds,
the sites, the smells. So, for my second show, Judas Priest at Nassau,
I borrowed my mother's camera and took my first concert photos. That was
1984." Nineteen years later, Dino is still at it.
Dino's first professional exposure came when his photos were featured
in Indigo Girls Tour and Song Books. "It still didn't dawn on me
at that point to make a career of it. To this day I still guard myself
against letting my life's passion become too much of a job. If it ever
stops being fun, I'll put my camera down."
But moving back to New York City in 1996 really turned things around
for Dino. "I came back to NYC for a career opportunity, but became
completely immersed in the NYC music scene." 1996 was also Dino's
first trip to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. "I can't
even express the feeling I had that first day at the fairgrounds, I knew
that this was the kind of musical experience that really inspired me and
my photography."
In subsequent years Dino developed relationships with some of his favorite
artists like, Galactic, Medeski Martin & Wood, Soulive and Melvin
Sparks. In 2001 he became the House Photographer at the Blue Note and
BB King's in NYC. In 2002 he added Tobacco Road. Dino continues to hold
these positions today, and continues traveling and photographing inspirational
music. In the past year Dino's photography has been featured on CD covers
for; Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Soulive, Lettuce and the Melvin
Sparks Band; in Rolling Stone, Relix, Drum, Offbeat, Downbeat, Pollstar;
and countless posters, flyers and promotional materials. Look for him
at a stage near you.
