These paintings are a tribute
to jazz and its importance
in American History. The terminology
of music and art are very
similar; and I paint with
the same emotions on canvas
that jazz musician make with
their notes in a musical score.
Visual
Jazz Visual Jazz
was motivated
by listening to
the “fusion
jazz” style
made popular by
Miles Davis, Herbie
Hancock and others.
“Fusion
jazz” is
a mixture of traditional
jazz, rhythm and
blues and rock
music. The rhythmic
patterns and movement
in this painting
suggests the energy
of jazz clubs
and jazz festivals.
The variety of
shapes and colors
dance across the
canvas like a
musical score.
