BeBop - These works are influenced by the jazz improvisations of Bebop musicians. I painted each one while immersing myself in the music of Bebop greats such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Cannonball Adderley and others. Listen below to the music that influenced and inspired each painting.
