overview

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.

This exhibition will also include selected poems by Wynton Marsalis and is a must-see for jazz fans and poets of all ages.
