Jazz ABZ: An A to Z Collection of Jazz Portraits by Paul Rogers with poems by Wynton Marsalis

Wednesday, Jan 20, 2010 through Sunday, Aug 8, 2010

Artist Paul Rogers teamed with legendary jazz musician Wynton Marsalis to create the book Jazz ABZ, which highlights jazz greats from A (Louis Armstrong) to Z (Dizzy Gillespie) through art and poetry. 

Each portrait and poem is evocative of the particular musician’s sound, and each work of art alludes to song titles, artifacts, and other markers of the time, including artistic references to well-known artists who were particularly inspired by jazz music.
