  • Another great interview! Amazing photos. I want that book!

    I'm so glad that she made the point of what AIDS did to the dance community. I knew dozens of dancers and choreographers who died of AIDS. A lot of these people were extremely talented, too. Had they lived, many of them would have become major figures in dance.

  • So true! So many talented wonderful people whose lives were so abruptly ended. I was stunned when Judith Jamison showed me how many Jack had photographed.

  • ms. jamison is one beautiful,exquisite long legged lovely lady! she is the prototype of a dancer!

  • its crazy to think the judith jamison has watched me dance and liked it:)

    CRAZY:)

    i miss the dancers:)

  • I have that book of photographs... 1:35 I actually spoke to Mr. Mitchell and he directed me where to purchase it because it is out of production... Mr. Mitchell is a genious.

  • Thank you so much for this! I first learned of Judith Jamison when I saw her on a Cosby Show rerun back in the mid 1990's. Years later I learned she was not just a "guest star" but an accomplished dancer. It was always a dream of mine, but never a reality, to be an Ailey dancer! LOL! So I live vicariously through clips like these!

    Much love!
