Funky Pieces of Silver

Horace Silver

Illustration of Horace Silver back in the 60′s. Song for My Father remains one of my all-time favorites. One of the fathers of the Hard Bop. I was asked by Philippe Debongnie to contribute to his blog – Jazz and Draw. I was glad to contribute. Check out the blog and especially if you love jazz. Cool to see different artists riffing on different musicians.  I hope to add a few more pieces to this blog in the future.

In Love of Jazz:
Horace Silver

One of my favorites and tonight’s late night sketch.

Allen Toussaint, commissioned illustration. The Saint of New Orleans, and as far as I’m concerned the King of New Orleans Soul.

Pencil sketch.
