I like that we finished work early so I got some time to hang out at The Morgan. We’re on the same cross street two blocks away. The Jazz musicians were out on a break when I got in so I looked at a current exhibit before taking a spot by the music corner. I sketched the mother and child looking at the music set but sadly they didn't stay long. The drummer soon arrived but with a seeing stick. He's blind but he was being guided to his chair by the guitarist, Joe Ravo. His name I came to know after showing him the previous sketch I did and asked if I could put his name on it. Soon the bassist joined them and the trio started the next set. I was trying my best to have a good look at them as they played music even as more patrons came to form a crowd. Didn't have time to take a video but I got the sketches done.
You are so lucky to have these opportunities to sketch musicians!!! These are so good!
