Got the opportunity to cover Nils Jiptner for Hawkins Management Group. I'd never been to Feinstein's in Hotel Carmichael. Really classy venue. #nils #feinsteins #hotelcarmichael #smoothjazz
Nils (pronounced Neels) moved to L.A. in the mid-80s. He started doing sessions as a rhythm guitarist. Over the years, he has worked with greats like George Clinton and the Temptations, and he co-wrote "Keep Rollin'" on Benson's 1998 album Standing Together, and the guitar legend returned the favor by recording a duet with Nils on Nils' 1998 debut CD Blue Planet; His solo career really took off in 2005 when his hit song "Pacific Coast Highway" stayed at #1 on the Radio chart for 11 weeks and was named by Billboard as the most heavily played track in the smooth jazz format over the past 15 years with over 30,000 spins. Several #1 Hits followed and established Nils as one of the driving forces in Contemporary Jazz today.
For those unfamiliar, Fox Lake in Angola Indiana was a segregated cottage community during a time when Blacks were not allowed into exclusive vacation resorts. So we made our own! About 80% of the homes are still Black owned and two years ago I got the opportunity to attend their annual celebration and get some drone footage of the area.

This is a new account and as a multi-disciplinary artist it's hard to decide what to post. I have archives going back 15 years of photo and video adventures in random and intentional spaces.
This was a random day (circa 2017) I stopped by Echo Park to hang out. This guy was busking and had a cool vibe so I decided to capture some.
