"The jazz greats are stellar role models when it comes to invention, craft, work ethic and taking chances. All of these people pushed themselves beyond their comfort zone to make new discoveries and find a new voice. Jazz and painting have much in common: color harmonies, space, tempo, abstraction and improvisation.

Jazz is an uplifting music, full of surprise. I am merely an aficionado who derives much joy and intellectual stimulation from this music. Below are some of my favorites that you may enjoy. No doubt, you will have many of your own."
