Artist Statement
“The painting is a tribute to jazz singer Barbara Morrison (1947-2022) and the ensemble that performs together every Thursday night at Invention Restaurant located inside the Los Angeles Athletic Club in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). I was honored to experience Miss Morrison’s inspiring performances on a number of occasions. This painting depicts one of her last concerts before her passing in March of 2022. It was a great challenge to paint under strong blue lights which I felt bathed the performers in a harmonic mystery. I had a lot of fun working on the translucency and abstract qualities of the drink glasses in the foreground. David Ross, the bass player organizes the group. David was my classmate at Harvard High School and has invited me many times to attend. Proceeding left to right are David Ross, Barbara Morrison (seated), Mark Massey on piano, Nolan Shaheed on trumpet, and Rickey Woodard on tenor saxophone. To complete the scene, I echoed an image of this painting on the back wall.”
