The One LP Project

One LP is a unique and critically acclaimed portrait photography project that explores the inspirational qualities of recordings and the impact that they have on people’s lives. Each portrait features the subject holding a recording that is of great personal significance to them. The photograph is accompanied by a short interview that explores the meaning and value of the selected album. One LP has come to represent a journey into another’s soul: the album that each artist selected is a part of them: their past, present and future.

The project, conceived in the jazz world has been extended and now includes around 400 people in a spectrum of occupations in the creative milieu - artists, academics, broadcasters, film makers, musicians, music fans, photographers, record producers and writers. For this specially compiled exhibition at Trongate 103, there will be over 120 portraits and interviews on display, including some which are featured in a chapter of a new book entitled Rethinking Miles Davis, published by Oxford University Press in the year of the centenary of Miles Davis’ birth.

The exhibition coincides with Glasgow International Jazz Festival 10th - 14th June 2026 . There will be a Jazz Festival preview of the exhibition on Tuesday 9th June 6-8pm. William will also give an informal talk on the exhibition and some of his encounters with those within it on Saturday 13th June at 3pm in Trongate 103 Foyer Gallery.
