“BRIGHT MOMENTS”

Photos by Michael Friedman

"There's always a world of bright moments at Keystone Korner -- jam sessions nearly every Tuesday and headliners several times each week." - NEA Jazz Master Todd Barkan

All photos below were taken by our house photographer, Michael Friedman, between January-April, 2024. New photos will be added every few months! They are of both players at the Bright Moments Jam Sessions and some of our fabulous headliners. Scroll to view!
