our friday night hideaway
a table for two
that jazz quartet
that voice –
meandering, lamenting the blues
the hills, the valleys
soulful notes
mournful notes riding the bass
the story of a life – in and out of the blues
at our friday night hideaway

mournful notes
waft through autumn sky
soul searching on tenor sax

This in the neighborhood across from the Brooklyn Museum. It was a distraction for a new building that was going up. Something more fun to look at than construction.
Linking to PPAC#4 .. Photographing Public Art Challenge. This week being hosted by Cee. To look, go here.
Yup! That is my record collection. The fat one with the black edge at the top is a Frank Sinatra Collection. The gold edge is a Nat King Cole Collection. Remember those? They used to be offered on TV..channel 13, PBS most likely as a fund raiser. I was sucker for those🙂. Knew every word of those songs too.
These are two of about eight murals that act as cover for a building that is undergoing renovation. This takes the eyesore out of the construction site. I always thought that all the murals, often seen in groups, were done by one artist. Not so! I think this one had a curator. It’s at Underhill Ave & Lincoln Place in Brooklyn.
Well, the first one says Charlie Parker. But the second one had no name on it. The artist left it up to us. I think it’s Roy Hargrove. What do you think?

a hushed crowd
held by the groovy meanderings
of the bass in the quartet
fingers snapping
toes tapping,
jazz set begins

Daily Prompt Gratitude
cauldron of rhythms
bass, drums, wailing tenor sax –
jazz cacophony
summer night under the stars
soulful rhythms fill the air
