In Jazz music it's common that there are different variations of one track. Although the theme of it stays the same, the musicians add their own feel to it, make their own interpretation, improvisation, version of it. I recently made a photo of a Sax and this one is one of the different variations I've made... Canon EOS 60D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

The ease and the softness of the tone in de Chet Baker version of this Jazz Standard "Stella by Starlight" (Live in Tokyo, 1987) was the inspiration of the original version. This one is a bit more colourful.

Not unexpectedly, I now regularly listen to saxophone music. And of course Charlie Parker is one of them. That explains the title of this work. Canon EOS 60D, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Complex structures, subtle rappid tones... wrenching emotion, power- and colorful music that hits you, not only physically but emotionally too ... Canon EOS 60D, Tokina AT-X Pro D 100mm F2.8 Macro.

!http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.13061635.6836/fp,375x360,black,off_white,box20,m,ffffff.jpg! "So What" is the first track on the 1959 Miles Davis album Kind of Blue. Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis, it's an album that towers above its peers, a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. I'm aware this image doesn't have the same impact as the track and the album but to me it's a little homage to the both of them...
