Ensemble
My husband is a drummer who plays in musical ensembles. I often listen to the music, and sometimes I enjoy drawing the visual images of the players. I so respect their art and artistry, their intensity, at times calling them magicians rather than musicians. Maybe it is just a second language to them, but to me it feels magical, making a group sound with years of study and theory behind what is now transcendent. I did studies of each of the men in charcoal, and then created this triptych showing all of them, separately but together, as jazz sometimes tends to be. The likenesses are of Bill O’Connell (piano), Michael Goetz (bass), Caroll Scott (vocal), Vincent Herring (sax), Richard Baratta (drums), Paul Bollenback (guitar), and Paul Rossman (percussion).
