JAZZ PORTRAITS

This collection of jazz portraits was started during the quarantine of 2020 when I was unable to play live music. It's not a who's who list of jazz greats but rather a collection of the players who have moved me deeply. It's also not a complete list as there are many more musicians and vocalists to be drawn/painted. I stay away from copying specific photos in order to render more subjectively my personal view of these musical giants; their nobility, their swagger, their humor and the incredible beauty that poured out of them when they walked the earth.
