Seth Myers Trio at the Analogue

Last evening, Veronica and I went out to draw Seth Myers Trio in Greenwich Village's newly opened bar/jazz lounge Analogue.  We were invited by bassist Seth Myers, whom we met while drawing the Vintage Train Ride 2013.  Seth Myers Trio played Analogue's inaugural concert last night, with Joe Cohn on guitar and Will Terell on drums. We sat directly across from the band, and I completely dissolved in live jazz and drawing, while sipping wine. It was fantastic. The musicians asked if there were any requests, and agreed to play "In A Sentimental Mood", my favorite melody. I loved it!
After the show, we talked about similarities and differences of playing music and drawing on location. Both place us in the moment like nothing else, and drawing is as much of a performance, except that I, personally, prefer not to have an audience when I'm in the middle of a drawing...but musicians need the feedback from their listeners, the immediate energy exchange. Below is the energy of last evening, captured in drawings. It was a beautiful and memorable evening. Veronica made some incredible drawings and portraits of these musicians, look for those on her blog!
