Backstage at the festival with the crew

A selection of photographers of the utterly brilliant and friendly backstage crew, Hannah, Mike, Stewart and loads of others not forgetting John Rawling, Richard, Jill, Paul and apologies for anyone I've missed!

We had a great time and hopefully made some good friends along the way.

Tools of the trade

Of course the musicians get the acclaim but an unheralded star of the performances are the instruments. Here is a collection of them before, during and after their set.

About 'Just Like Jazz'

'Just Like Jazz' is a collaborative project between Interactive Cultures, a research unit at Birmingham City University, and the Scarborough Jazz Festival. We're media academics who happen to be jazz fans and we're working with the Scarborough Jazz Festival to explore the ways in which jazz festivals can be portrayed online.

Rather than creating a brochure website around the festival, or simply filming the festival and putting that online, our goal is to capture the spirit of the festival using a range of techniques such as photography, text and handheld, personal digital video. We have given small, cheap, portable video cameras to select audience members, musicians, backstage staff and the festival organisers and asked them to capture whatever they think is interesting: the buzz of the audience, the surrounding environment, snippets of the music performed, and any discussions that take place around jazz.

We're gathering together all of this video, photography and text from our contributors and publishing it live on this website as the festival happens. We're also tagging the content in order to experiment with the ways in which the characters and stories that are captured can be navigated by you, the visitor. This process gives audiences the opportunity to experience the festival in their own way and makes the event accessible to those who may wish to attend the festival in future years, or who may never have considered visiting a jazz festival at all.

Although we've worked on projects like this before, with Aftershock in Italy and with the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, we don't have a fixed idea of what we're going to end up with. We're working with a loose structure and quite a lot of improvisation - in a way, it's just like jazz.

Do come and say hello if you see us around. We hope you enjoy exploring the festival online with us,

Tim, Andrew, Simon and Jez.
