It has 18 nearly life size recognizable portraits of the biggest jazz stars that I knew and saw perform in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s and includes Wynton Marsalis.” Has BeensBigsStarsDifficultSawsFeetPaintingBandJazzSizeCurrentsPortraits80sLife Size Author:LeRoy Neiman

“Actually touring solo is a little more difficult. It's more demanding than being under the "wing" of the band, no pun intended. It's more intimidating to sing in front of smaller crowds.

“It is a great pleasure to be performing with a big band. Those people took part in a group that played the music from the Kino Kultura album i.e. the soundtrack music I've been doing.

It is a great privilege to gather all those musicians at one place, especially these that I work with, since they perform regularly abroad, at weddings or are working somewhere else.” PeopleBigsCertainDifficultPleasureGroupsBandMusicianPrivilegeAlbumsObligationPerformingArrangementsSomewhere ElseSoundtracks Author:Vlatko Stefanovski
