Jazz Imprints Reflects Clifford Brown Jazz Performers Over The Years

Press Release 6/2/09

Hope Rose became a photojournalist in 2002, with Next Level Magazine. While photographing and writing, she was first assigned the Dupont Clifford Brown Jazz Festival in 2003. She photographed Herbie Hancock that year, which is the featured piece on the current cover design for the City of Wilmington's - Art on the Town, June 2009 edition.

The Clifford Brown Jazz Festival has become an annual meeting place for many photographers. They all know they will reunite, network, exchange stories and share images. They appreciate the City of Wilmington and what it has provided to the public with the many international artists performing for the public. Hope states, "My favorite year, so far, was 2007, when the festival featured Stanley Clark, along with Norman Brown's Summer Storm Tour featuring Marion Meadows, Peabo Bryson and Jeff Lorber. It was fantastic."

Jazz Imprints was formed in April 2009, by Hope Rose. She contacted Tina Betz and Jeni Barton, who are mainly responsible for organizing and making art accessible in the City of Wilmington. Jazz Imprints consists of area photographers that have been photographing the DuPont Clifford Brown Jazz Festival performers over the years.
