In his latest collection of Art & Verse giclée prints, artist and poet Peter Mark Butler presents the dazzling world of Jazz through paintings in acrylics complemented with prose.
Jazz Bands, Jazz Stars and Jazz Fans
From bass player to trombonist, trumpeter to pianist, drummer to saxophonist, Peter portrays the exquisite performances of modern day jazz greats and the exuberance of musicians in smaller bands on the jazz circuit. Following an inspirational visit to New Orleans in April, 2010, he is currently adding French Quarter Festival musicians to his collection. First and foremost is 98 year old band leader Lionel Ferbos, "the last man standing" from a bygone era of Jazz Greats, who continues on trumpet and vocals with amazingly youthful vigour.
Amongst Peter's other heroes are stars such Sammy Rimington on saxophone and clarinet, Cuff Billett on trumpet, Mike Pointon on trombone, Annie Hawkins and Trefor Williams on Double Bass, Eric Webster on Banjo, Eric van Pelt on Piano and Peter Lay on drums. Jazz fiends one and all in performance at the Ken Colyer Trust New Orleans Jazz Parade at Hemsby, Norfolk, in October, 2008.
Jazz Art - Legendary Jazz Virtuosos
Of special note are his paintings and poems featuring jazz legend Sammy Rimington in saxophone duet with up and coming jazz virtuoso Amy Roberts, enthralling fans at the Ken Colyer Trust Hemsby festival.
Jazz Paintings - The New Orleans Beat
Peter has also joined the Jazz circuit to feature 'The Fallen Heroes', famed for their high energy perfomances of blues, funky jazz and contemporary New Orleans street beat. Completed paintings and poems include band leader Emil Martyn turning up the heat on drums and vocalist Dom Pipkin pumping piano.
Rubbing Shoulders with Acker Bilk and Terry Lightfoot
Not least in Peter's ever expanding Jazz art portfolio of bands and their artistes is the Hertfordshire based jazzman of longstanding fame, Bob Thomas and The Thomcats. Before forming the Thomcats, Bob played with a numer of top bands and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Acker Bilk and Terry Lightfoot. Art & Verse prints include Bob on trumpet and fellow Thomcat, Tim Curtis on sousaphone.
