One week ago, I headed to Prospect Park on a beautiful Saturday evening to meet up with friends before seeing the Daptone Super-Soul Revue at the bandshell. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings brought down the house as one of the last shows of the Celebrate Brooklyn series, and they played to a full house under the stars.

If you haven’t heard of the great Ms. Jones, this article from NYMag is a must-read. It was a real pleasure to see her perform, showing off her moves (and giant voice) in a beautiful blue-sequined dress. Metromix has a great series of photos from the show, and for me, the people-watching was a great opening act.

My vintage Leica was happy to come along for the show…
