A year before recording "Kind of Blue," Davis slipped Evans a piece of paper on which he had written with the musical symbols for G Minor and Augmented. Miles said to see what you can do with this. Evans went on to create a cycle of chords as a meditative framework for solos on "Blue in Green."
“Blue in Green #2 - Homage to Bill Evans and Miles Davis” is a part of the Soundgarden collection at Ochsner Baptist Auditorium.

I call my art "Composing with Color". Everyone hears music differently. The way we perceive art is shaped by our taste and by emotions, situations, and personalities. My canvas is the manuscript on which the notes are painted. I have attempted to have music take on physical colors as it travels through air. My ideal vision would be to create a world in colors as Thelonious Monk created a world of sound.
I am a graduate of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA. I have had solo exhibitions in New Orleans, Los Angeles, Miami and Frankfurt, Germany. I have received a grant from the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Artist Fellowship Inc, New York, NY.
