Clearaudio Concept Active Wood

My friend Courtney Grant Winston has led a storied life. A photographer by trade, Courtney has a gift for revealing his subjects’ spirited personalities. He has photographed actor Morgan Freeman, Le Bernardin coowner Maguy Le Coze, and celebrity chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Alain Ducasse, and Anthony Bourdain. Courtney took the iconic cover photo for his 2000 breakout biography, Kitchen Confidential.

Courtney’s father was a Tuskegee Airman during World War II and a childhood friend of Billie Holiday. The voice of Courtney’s mother, Dorothy, can be heard in Billie, the recent documentary, speaking about the celebrated jazz singer’s final days.

Bruce Springsteen's later-career back catalog

Seeing Bruce Springsteen perform live in the 1970s and early '80s, pre-Born in the U.S.A., could be a life-changing experience. Bruce was the hungry leader of a relentless, turn-on-a-dime R&B band. A burning star streaking across the rock'n'roll sky, he threw his fiery young self into maximum shows full of urgency (to invoke one of his best rhymes) and those wordy, anthemic pleading/strutting urban fairy tales. He was leagues beyond almost everything and everyone else in those days.
