just watched and listened to the Big Band of Archie Shepp on Art Songs and Negro Spirituals , a concert made by Franck Cassenti !
And became inspired for a new watercolor of the great drummer Hamid Drake!
Hamid did 3 concerts in 2011 during the festival of Jazz à Junas !

Larry Rivers, abstract american painter and baritone saxophonist made a great painting of The Drummer, which was exposed at the Musee du Quai Branly for The Siecle du Jazz Exhibition in 2009 .Bruno Charavet, french jazz photographer allowed me to use his great painting of Simon Goubert, drummer, to paint my vision of a 'Larry Rivers Drummer' Great fun to do et grand merci à Bruno Charavet If interested by the Life of Larry Rivers, read his biograph: 'What Did I Do?

Charlie Haden

Lockdown worldwide: so try to heal with culture: music, literrature, photography , painting and many others items.
The great Charlie Haden at the double bass: a Genius who left too early; luckily his music is still everywhere if you are willing to explore and listen 
Stay cool
