My son is a gifted saxophonist; my husband collects vintage vinyl records. Both have a deep love of jazz. This piece is a study of texture and light as observed in a few items that litter our home and fuel these passions. When selecting records, I use my eye as much as my ears, focusing on color and wear in addition to artist and album.
The piece's title was inspired by a quote from the wonderfully weird and wildly talented Roland Kirk, "How about a blues in W, in the key of W?"
