I drew this from a few polaroids that i took a few years ago. I really liked how the two photos went together especially because they were taken at completely different times. I posted them also because I thought some people might like to see them.
Just in cast the last one didn't satisfy your facial hair needs I thought I would have another installment of Build-A-Beard. If you didn't catch the first episode look at my previous post here.
The "typos" I make when I'm printing drive me crazy. Please insert woman between good-looking and around and delete the top of the r in world. This is from a series of photographs by Mark Story. Check them out here. They are really good.
This is a few bars of Barney Wilen's(ts) solo from Afternoon In Paris on John Lewis(p) and Sacha Distel's(g) 1957 album Afternoon In Paris. The other personaell are Pierre Michelot (b) and Connie Kay(d). To hear this song click here. For more information on Barney Wilen click here.
So my plan is to do a drawing every day. I also plan to transcribe a short musical statement once a week. I hope you enjoy this with me. Please note that I am a trumpet player so all transcriptions will need to be transposed down a whole step to get to concert pitch. I would do it but I'm lazy and this is easier for me.
Why Am I doing This?
I used to draw a lot in high school but kind of fell out of the habit. This will be a fun way for me to share my drawings and help me meet my goal. The transcriptions are for my trumpet playing. They will help me better understand the musical language that I am studying.
