Jazz on Sunday - Micheal Gregory Jackson

'Micheal Gregory Jackson at Hartford Library'

pencil on paper

Sunday was another one of those quiet ones that I decided to check out the Hartford Public Library's Baby Grand Jazz Series held on Sunday until early April. Brought my pencil and pad and sketched seasoned guitar player Micheal Gregory Jackson. He's played around the world and with the Legendary Rolling Stones. My mind wondered as I sat in front with a few artist friends enjoyed the music.
Above is a the drawing done February 23.

Yesterday I decided to go to the Hartford Public Library baby grand jazz, a free music series offered to the public on Sunday. The Jazz musician Craig Hartley performed. I hadn't sketch live in a while. I packed my pencils and erasers and pad in two plastic bags, didn't won't a pencil to poke through.  Above are sketches I while there, they are pencil on paper about 12"x9".
