Quincy Jones with Dee Dee Bridgewater and George Benson at Jazz Open Stuttgart 2017

At the Jazz Open Stuttgart, international stars such as Quincy Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and George Benson were photographed by the photographic artist TINA TRUMPP on the open-air stage set against the impressive backdrop of Stuttgart’s New Palace. The palace’s clean, stately architecture provides a unique setting for world-class concerts.

In TINA TRUMPP ’s visual language, music and the moment melt into a delicate photographic composition. The presence of these outstanding artists is not merely documented, but captured in all its emotional intensity. Light, movement, and expression are precisely crafted, lending the photographs a quality that is both serene and vibrant.

The energy of Quincy Jones, the powerful voice of Dee Dee Bridgewater, and the iconic stage presence of George Benson unfold in these images as individual yet interconnected moments. For Tina Trumpp, the result is a series that makes the essence of jazz visible—capturing a blend of improvisation, elegance, and timeless expressive power.

In this way, concert photography becomes more than just a document: it becomes fine art, in which music, space, and atmosphere come together in an expressive visual language.
