Rick Henry's Jazz Art

How would you pay homage to a jazz musician in a stylized photo or graphic? This is exactly what Rick Henry thought about and has delivered in his new book, "Rick Henry's Jazz Art." He has taken 24 of his favorite jazz musicians and has let their music speak to his soul. The result is a tribute to each musician in the form of a unique artistic interpretation. Each graphic is a total feast for the eyes in colors that are deep, rich and bright. There is nothing subdued here. Each graphic is as expressive as the individual musician.

Rick has also provided a concise snapshot of the personal and career highlights of each musician to accompany each graphic. He gives us selected details that are worth knowing and remembering. Each summary perfectly honors these illustrious jazz musicians.

So let the graphics in this book speak to you. And let your eyes "hear" the music.
