Josephine & Jazz : Maquette. ca. 1930. Paul Colin.
8 3/8 x 11 in./21.3 x 28 cm
Oh yeah. That’s Josephine Baker dancing on top of a piano while the musicians cluster below, and the Eiffel Tower itself swings in syncopation. Classic Paul Colin, it’s also got a little bit of Chagall in it, n'est ce pas? An absolute treasure of the Jazz Age.

Caudieux. 1893. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
36 ¼ x 50 5/8 in./92.2 x 128.5 cm
A well-loved cabaret personality in Montmartre, Caudieux was a large, floppy ball of a man, shown here with coattails billowing behind him as he exits, stage right. As the actor purses his lips in self-satisfaction after what we can imagine to be a fine performance, a hollow-cheeked audience member gawks curiously up from the orchestra pit. Feinblatt calls this “a study in dynamic motion and concentrated energy… and his bustling sweep across the boards is an unparalleled rendering of movement among Lautrec’s posters” (Wagner, p. 20).

I like when an article thumbnail features a pic of a woman conductor, as it is the closest I will get to living in a world where newspapers write feel-good human-interest stories about a local witch who is proud to show off her new spell.

in this Jan/Feb 2016 issue of the Smithsonian Mag a super fun piece I’ve been recently worked on. thanks to Heather this piece has wonderfully been brought to life in the mag, not just that, it also gave me the chance to read such an interesting article about how the phonograph revolutionized the way of experiencing the music.
I’ve also included few sketches to let the curious of you know how this piece could also have been presented in the mag.

Second rehearsal with this pit orchestra. Maestro still hasn’t asked my name or addressed me as anything but “you.” Been putting up with his garbage conducting for about three and a half cumulative hours and I’m still sight reading like a champion. We get to a new part in the score that I haven’t yet played. It’s fast, loud, accented. Cool. Maestro looks at me BEFORE I EVEN PLAY and says “it’s ok if you can’t quite get it right, it can sound a little messy and it’ll be fine.” I’m sorry, what? I pick up my horn, nail it the first time. Get out of my face.
Today I had my first rehearsal with the pit for an opera. The maestro made 5-10 comments to the orchestra within the first hour about how the comments he was making were ones he would never have to make to a professional orchestra, but because we were a group of amateurs, we needed to hear them.
I was the youngest person in the ensemble. I am a professional trombonist.
