The notable aspect of jazz comes from musician's ability to improvise within an established framework. Ian Johnson's art on the same subject is no different. His well-practiced work combines realistic and highly detailed portraits of great jazz musicians, with the confident abstraction of color and shape as a constantly shifting background rhythm. Sun Ra, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis and Anthony Braxton, among others, are depicted in a manner that emphasizes the sometimes joyous, sometimes melancholy, but always thoughtful nature of jazz.
