Awesome first jazz lab competition! We played some awesome music (one song was entirely a trombone section feature 😎), and played it well. We got a gold medal, which means we’re going to the state festival! Also, I got an outstanding musician award :D so pumped about jazz, we did a lot with our limited rehearsal time. Shoutout to trombonin agentof-flute marchingmywaydowntown who also are in the ensemble and played wonderfully.

Miles Davis - So what

[themaninthegreenshirt]

Miles Davis and his [other] art.

Miles didn’t begin to draw and paint until he was in his mid-fifties, during the early 1980’s and a period of musical inactivity. Miles being Miles, he didn’t merely dabble, but made creating art as much a part of his life as making music in his final decade, resulting in a sharp, bold and masculine mixture of Kandinsky, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and African tribal art.
