This year I only shot on a Friday for the Malta Jazz Festival. My arm is injured and holding a camera for long means days of pain. However I took the opportunity to play around with a 45mm tilt shift lens and a wide 24mm rather than constantly shooting with a long lens.

I did shoot up close the musicians and singers on the night that gave some fantastic performances. Angie Vella Zarb from The Blue Tangarine, not only mesmerized me with her amazing voice, but she was gorgeous to shoot too.

Following the first act were Christian McBride's New Jawn. These guys meant business and it showed from the start that they were there to give their all.

The night ended with Bokante who really made one want to dance and the stage lit up with the contrasting yellow and green lights was simply wow and great for photos!

Last but not least the lovely Sarah-Lee Zammit presented the acts along the night!
