Introducing my good friend and colleague, Laurence Cumming, Photographer Supreme, who has faithfully assisted me in covering events for Jazz&Jazz ever since I first met him at The 100 Club several years ago.
Since I have been capturing events for YouTubes, Laurence has ensured Jazz&Jazz is not lacking for high class photographs at major events such as the annual Covent Garden Rent Collecting Ceremony.
The photo of him above is a still captured from one of my videos as we caught a fleeting sight of each other pursuing the Marching Band en route around Covent Garden on Thursday, 18th June this year.
The following random montage of photographs were all taken by Laurence
