Something Else

Hello my name is Troy Carlton and I have created this painting while listening to the music of Ornette Coleman – Something Else.. Ornette was a pioneer in bringing more exploratory elements to jazz. He in some ways against the then current tastes in music kind of single handedly went his own way.  This was his first record he recorded as a leader. At this point he was playing pretty straightforward. But was also a hint of what was to come. I get a very positive and relaxed feeling while listening to this and it was my attempt to convey that unto the canvas. I hope I was successful and that you also enjoy it.
