“It has been difficult to hold onto many paintings but I have retained a few. Possibly the current favorite is titled 'Big Band' completed in 2005. It measures 13 feet x 9 feet. 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
