Editor’s note: This article is part of a recurring series highlighting D.C. musicians who double as photographers, part of a long tradition in jazz that has included legends like Milt Hinton, Oscar Peterson and Sy Johnson. You can find other entries in the series here.

Jamie Sandel is a bassist, violinist, composer and radio host living and working in D.C. and the greater mid-Atlantic. As a musician, Sandel has worked as both a sideman and bandleader, providing not only a deep sense of musicianship, but also a considered sense of community-building, having been born and raised squarely within the DMV’s wide circle of arts practitioners. Sandel is also a multimedia creative professional who has photographed and filmed some of the music’s most important practitioners – like Robert Glasper – with a sensitivity that reveals his deep experience both on and off the stage.

The photos below convey the multi-dimensional existence that many creative practitioners must attend to these days, from national tours to quiet moments at home.

Sandel works as CapitalBop’s Creative Media Lead. All photos and captions by Jamie Sandel, for CapitalBop
