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: Lee Morgan is another one of those great artists that life cut their existence short but leave us their incredible talent to enjoy it in one forever. Lee was killed by his wife who shot him in a New York club in a band performance. There’s a documentary “I called him Morgan” released in 2016, from where I heard about this LP called “Cornbread’. I liked it so much I decided to make a version of this great LP ‘vinyl’ art design, you heard right ‘vinyl’… these pieces of musical art are meant to be heard in ‘vinyl’ LP. July 10, 1938 – February 19, 1972 (33 years old).

Description: The New York Jazz Festival debuted on Randall's Island on August 24 and 25, 1956 with a similar design as this version. With a very ‘sketchy’ promotional graphics poster, in my opinion, this was the first Jazz festival in New York. The ‘fest’ was promoted with an 8.5 x 11 poor put together a booklet with this colorful design that today you can find it on sale on eBay. I designed my own taking the original concept and elevated it to a more eye appealing. The lineup back then included Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Joe Williams, Erroll Garner, Gene Krupa, Coleman Hawkins. Louis Armstrong didn’t make it until next year.

Description: I can’t see a better way to express the Stoic philosophy than a bunch of skulls. For the last 6 years, I have been reading and contemplating the Stoic philosophy, especially by Marcus Aurelius. It’s not just that makes sense but it makes me feel inspired to live the ‘today right now’ in a sublime way. This is my way to share this faith journey in a different way… “Soon or later, expecting it or not, rich or poor, want it or not”… “We all are going to die one day” –memento mori-
