10 for Monday

I was recently asked to select 8-10 jazz photos that I would submit for an exhibit.  Where does one begin? Which photos to select? Where is that photo that I thought was supercool?

The 10 images selected were taken at Bay Area music events and festivals over the past four years.

Update: I have been selected to be one of the four photographers to exhibit their jazz photography for the Jazz Appreciation Month exhibit in April 2010 presented by the San Jose Jazz Festival. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Stay tuned for more details.
