Blues Jazz Shorts
Description: Another of my famous Jazz festival poster re-make, this one is from Newport, Rhode Island back in 1963. Which reunite the biggest Jazz stars, not just from that time but from all time, in my opinion. Eunice Kathleen Waymon, known professionally as Nina Simone, even came up from her great Carnegie Hall concert in New York City back in April to this amazing encounter of giants. Those hot summer days were like a young beautiful bride, and the magical talent of all these stars was like a young handsome groom that for four days created an eternal honeymoon of the best Jazz that the Gods ever heard. This tee shirt more than shows a poster is a souvenir of what all those amazing artists create in that magical four-night.
Description: Ray's Music Exchange is a fictional Chicago pawn shop that specialized in musical instruments in the 1980 film, The Blues Brothers. It's where the guys go to procure new instruments and equipment as they get the band back together, and end up in a performance of “Shake A Tail Feather” that spills into the streets filled with dancers. The actual location of the store was a pawn shop located in the Bronzeville neighborhood at 300 E. 47th St., though the interior shots were all done on a soundstage. The mural on the side of Ray's celebrating black musicians remained for 40 years until vandals set fire to the building in 2020.
Description: The Victor Talking Machine Company was an American recording company and phonograph manufacturer, incorporated in 1901. Victor was an independent enterprise until 1929 when it was purchased by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and became the RCA Victor Division of the Radio Corporation of America.
Description: Jazz Blues | Music Lovers Blues songs are lyrical rather than narrative; blues singers are expressing feelings rather than telling stories. Jazz music is often much more lively and upbeat than blues music. Jazz is often associated with swinging and swaying movements, lively atmospheres and even abstract, unpredictable noise.
Description: This poster features a colorful pop art portrait of Koko Taylor. The portrait is done in a wpap style, and it captures Taylor's powerful and soulful personality. The tagline "The Queen of the Blues" is written in bright yellow letters across the top of the poster. The poster is vibrant and eye-catching, and it is a tribute to one of the greatest blues singers of all time.
