I was commissioned by one of my clients to paint a window for a contest put on by the jazz festival. I got four other businesses to participate, and put together a mural commemorating the evolution of jazz. The piece works from dixieland to big band, then bebop on to present day. The piece includes portraits of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Dizzie Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, and the Shuffle Demons respectively.
Iain Keith always has a bunch of great ideas and is obviously very passionate about his work. It’s entertaining when he gets going as his excitement is contagious.
