Here’s a portrait of Franco-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf playing in mid-air. This is the second portrait I’ve painted of this formidable musician. This painting will be exhibited at the Festival de Jazz 2024 de Longjumeau in May 2024.
This is a reworking of a “Marcus Miller’s Thunder painting” originally created in 2003 as part of a tryptic dedicated to the “SMV” bass trio (Stanley Clarke , Marcus Miller , Victor Wooten). The original was offered to Marcus Miller in 2009, and this one will complete the tryptic on the wall of Victor Wooten’s Center for Music and Nature in Tennessee.

Here’s my latest painting. A tribute to the great Roy Hargrove. His passing will leave a huge hole in the jazz world. He was my fav trumpet player since Miles Davis. I made that painting using pictures I took of him during his last gig at New Morning (Paris) in October 2018. He used to sit sometimetimes in a corner in the shadow looking to his partners playing their parts . He just adds some right notes when he felt the need during those moments… You’ll be missed Roy…I hope you’re enjoying heaven and having fun there 🙂 (Clic on the pic to enlarge it )
