mikeweil Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I have a large format calendar with his works - portraits of famous musicians based on photographs. I even had two of them framed in the living room for a while. http://www.iliev.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/03/joosClarke.jpg http://www.iliev.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/03/joosLewis40x60 https://www.booklooker.de/Bücher/Michael-Naura-Herbert-Joos+Miles-An-illustrated-Portrait/id/A02yHYBA01ZZb https://www.kind-of-blue.de/seiten/joos.htm Edited May 16, 2023 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhatta Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Masahiko Togashi was actually a pretty good painter. Some of his jacket designs were done by himself, and a retrospective exhibition was held in 2004. I find it interesting that many excellent drummers are painters. https://twitter.com/parusminor33/status/1492372955372081154?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have walked past that ice rink but didn’t know it had been used for jazz concerts in the 50s. Cool to have one of Jutta’s paintings.

sgcim Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Dennis Elliot, the great jazz drummer for the UK band If, quit music entirely and became a sculptor. Rick Laird, bass player at Ronnie Scott;s and later for The Mahavishnu Orchestra did the same thing, but he became a photographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 The great and rather mysterious alto player Claude Lawrence has a wonderful youtube channel that features his playing and painting.
