Jazz in LA is a series produced while Ms. Lambert followed and photographed local jazz musicians in late 2005 and 2006. Michael Ned Holte's quote
“Employing
an arsenal of digital tools, Melissa Lambert mines a hallucinatory
territory embedded with personal codes and signals that lend her
dizzying, pixelated surfaces unusual depth”
was in response to this work.
“Melissa Lambert's atmospheric images of live jazz in LA embrace the mood, giving imagery to the music itself. Employing a variety of tools, the photographs exist on multitude of levels. Notes and phrases lyrically weave in and out of one another, providing a rich canvas of rhythm and melody. The image becomes the music”
-- Greg Cohen, photographer, curator, and writer
