See the Bebop Painting

I was born too late to ever see Charlie Parker blow, but I've had the privilege of seeing Dizzy Gillespie and Dexter Gordon perform, and I even got to meet them both at a party/jazz tribute event at The White House. It was a Fathers' Day as I remember, and just about everybody in jazz was there to play. I had requested and was granted a Photographer Pass even though I had no press affiliation at the time ... and I had never even used a 35 mm camera before that day. Once the party and the music started I mingled with the musicians and guests, ate BBQ chicken and corn on the cob, and drank from kegs of beer.... just like at any other party in any backyard in the land. I was backstage often, and for a good long while I was ON the stage with the performers to get the best angles for shots. I took hundreds of pictures and hung around for the day with dozens of the biggest names in the history of jazz... but I was always drawn back to Dizzy and Dex. Each cat cooler than the other but both cooler than everyone else in the room, or in this case; everyone else on the South Lawn. That's high praise indeed given the roster of all-time greats that jammed for the "A List" crowd that day! Good jazz will change your mood in a minute, and I can almost SEE the music when one of the masters of bebop are doing their thing. Don't overthink it. Just close your eyes and see the bebop. This piece was created with a mix of paint, epoxy, and silicone oil and has a very eclectic texture, not unlike jazz itself!
