My association with art and
jazz music evolved over three
decades. I started listening
to the jazz musicians such
as John Coltrane, Miles Davis,
and other great jazz artists
as a young college art student
at the University of Texas
(Arlington) in the mid-60s.
I learned
to appreciate this art form
by frequenting jazz clubs
and concerts in the metropolitan
areas of Dallas/Fort Worth.
This deep love and passion
for both ‘art’
and ‘jazz music’continues
today. While I never played
a musical instrument, I have
always been inspired to paint
the colors of jazz. |
