Jazz Art perfect as a gift for jazz lovers everywhere.

JazzFolio is a collection of 71 black and white signed limited edition prints by internationally acclaimed artist Alastair Graham, jazz art inspired by jazz musicians and their music.

These surreal and beautifully drawn jazz illustrations form a folio of portraits of the greatest post-war jazz masters (from Cannonball Adderley through Miles Davis to Joe Zawinul). Each jazz musician is represented in the unique Graham style, using their musical and personal characteristics to create revealing and sometimes startling portraits that will delight all jazz fans.

This collection of work has impressed many people including Ian Carr (trumpeter and biographer of Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett) who said:

"These drawings are executed with great skill, humour, and love, their grotesqueries coming from a long European Tradition".

Other enthusiast for the Impressions collection include, Archie Shepp, Ben Sidran, John Scofield,and drummers Adam Nussbaum and John Betsch.

"Impressions -- Jazz Masters in Black and White have been exhibited at some of the most prestigious jazz festivals including NorthSea Jazz, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Vitoria Gasteiz, Novi Sad and Cork Guinness Jazz Festival, and have been published in magazines such as Jazzwise (UK), Jazziz (USA),and Jazz Podium (Germany).

These wonderful illustrations are available as signed limited edition prints, printed on 130 gsm quality art paper, imprinted with the Impressions stamp, and signed by the artist.

Alastair Graham's original Impressions folio is also published in a superb CD-sized book, containing 196 pages of 57 Jazz Greats from Ellington, Parker, Miles and Coltrane to Zawinul, Brecker and Metheny. A stunning and inexpensive gift (only £12) for any jazz lover.

Born in London and educated by Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, Alastair Graham has been a professional artist for forty years, working in Animation and Publishing, and has only relatively recently developed his technique to the point where his art can fully express his highly imaginative response to the music and musicians he loves. The JazzFolio Impressions collection has taken over 12 years to reach its current size of 71 images, and the search for a sympathetic publisher goes on, as does his animation of the Brazilian-Electro music of the late Suba.
