miles doo-bop acrylic...
















My painting titled Miles doo-bop is hommage to Miles Davis and the doo-bop album (1992) and the photographer of the doo-bop album cover, Annie Leibovitz, and the doo-bop cover itself.  In the grand day of Blue Note Records, Blue Note jazz album covers were (and still are) considered art - no less the Miles doo-bop album cover, in my mind.  So, this painting is with Miles and doo-bop in mind.  doo-bop was Miles's last studio album - just six tracks had been finished when he died.  The rest of the album was made with some unreleased trumpet recordings. -P.D.
