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 )
