Jazz at the Blue Note

Blue Note Records is an American jazz record label owned by Universal Music Group and operated under Capitol Music Group. Established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, it derived it’s name from the blue notes of jazz and the blues.

This painting on a found door signifies the essence of Jazz and the Blues. The lone figure and his instrument commuincating via the sound of was once called ‘the devils music’. A painting that celebrates an aspect of black music history and and nods to an era that laid the foundation to the black urban music that dominates the charts now. Whilst the title celebrates the legendary label, the paintings tells a story of musical creativity and expression that lays in deep in the soul of the African. A strong crude yet sophisticated contemporary expressionist painting in oils on a found door by Davids.
