John Coltrane sketch by Atlanta Georgia Artist Corey Barksdale. Coltrane is at the top of my list when it comes to jazz musicians, says Barksdale. A Coltrane recording he particularly enjoys is Africa. Coltrane is improvisational in the piece, but he has structure in his sound. I like the freedom that he has when he s playing Africa. It s rhythmic and free. Barksdale admires Miles Davis with equal measure for his rawness. Davis was into experimenting and trying different things with his sound. He was a catalyst for other musicians and he was a pioneer in his time, all without commercializing the music. So what is it about jazz that inspires Barksdale s creativity as a painter? I love the improvisation of jazz musicians from the 50s and 60s. There was a lot of experimentation going on. In much the same way, I want to create something totally new with my paintings each time - to be different in the way I portray certain subjects. « less
