The editorial
staff at JazzProfiles has a great fondness for melding artwork and Jazz.
Such combinations are
just another way of having fun with the music.
Painting,
sculpture and all forms of illustrative design seem to work well when viewed
with a Jazz accompaniment.
Our latest effort
in this regard are photographs of the mid-20th century genius that
was American automotive design as paired with music performed by The Metropole
Orchestra of The Netherlands.
The photographs of
these lovingly restored and maintained classic autos were taken at Ed Brown’s
Auto Shop in Apollo, PA and as such form a tribute to his talents as a
collector and craftsman.
[Incidentally,
Ed’s shop is not open to the general public.]
Our thanks to the
ace graphics team at CerraJazz LTD and the production group at StudioCerra for their assistance in
the preparation of the video.
The music is by
The Metropole Orchestra performing Michael Brecker’s Song for Barry.
The trombone solo
is by Bart van Lier, Ruud Breuls takes the trumpet solo and Peter Tiehuis
closes things out on guitar.
Vince Mendoza
conducts the orchestra.
