The photographs depict jazz musicians and singers performing at two Washington, D.C. night clubs, Charley's Place and Blues Alley, in challenging lighting situations. Chuck and his wife Pat, both excellent shooters, have been photographic partners for more than 20 years. Chuck, now a fulltime photographer, recently retired after a long career as a periodontist. A man of many parts, he also is a musician. It was his dental training that led him to photography [making macro photos of his patients' teeth and gums], and his love of music, especially jazz, that led to his and Pat's greatest artistic achievement to date: a place in the permanent photographic collection of the National Museum of American History. In fact, until the "Grate Life" project, Chuck and Pat Bress had been best known for their huge (more than 3500-image) archive of live jazz performances in and around Washington. That archive, which the Bresses have bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institution, includes some priceless images of jazz legends from around the country and the world, including shots from the first joint performance of the phenomenally talented Marsalis brothers.
