Well ladies and gentlemen, who do we have here? Ah yes, it is the man we’ve all been waiting for! A gentleman of glissandos. A scholar of swing. The first of his band. The first of Lucy’s art creations. And I’ll tell ya–no curtain up can begin without him. Now jazz aficionados, you’ll want to lean in and learn from this one, because what you’re about to hear is a lecture straight from the horn itself. So please give a warm welcome and a big round of applause for the true original for a debut that will never be forgotten—Professor Rufus Longfellow; a tube player in his own right.

As the Professor settles in on stage, you can be sure that more of his bandmates will make their appearance soon. Each one is almost ready to join this unforgettable jam session. Folks, the show is just beginning. This band will be coming from Lucy to paintbrush to canvas in the near future. Stay tuned!

This art work is the first of a series of fictional jazz performers organically painted on canvas in an impressionistic style.
