The IMA Blog Team asked Kyle Hodges of Indy Jazz Fest to give his perspective on art, music and inspiration.
As I look at this incredible wood engraving, I can’t help but think ‘What jazz musician inspired this artist?’ What song, what record, what style of jazz was this artist’s favorite to listen to while he created the masterpiece that we see? I know music is an art form that is inspirational in the lives of nearly everyone on this planet: allowing us to dream, create, or escape. But what if there was no jazz, what if it was replaced by some other genre of music in this artist’s life? Would he have decided to create something drastically different?
