I finally found my Pierre Henry photos. Back in 1998 I was playing with various assorted Ninjas at the Montreux jazz festival in Switzerland. Henry was also on the bill so we went along but were late and had to sit near the back as they were the only seats left.
Pierre came out and was introduced but there was nothing on stage, just black curtains. He promptly strode to the back of the room and played the gig from the mixing desk just behind us.
The gig was both terrifying and sublime – at one point i was so relaxed I think I nodded off. Right at the end, as he was receiving a huge round of applause, i turned round and snapped these two shots of him.
RIP Pierre Henry
