Our mission at SecondTakeJazzArt is to produce original and/or upgraded visuals that authentically memorialize fan-favorite live jazz recordings from the distant past. We focus on celebrated live performances by jazz legends -- shows for which little to no advertising ephemera survives (or was ever created). SecondTakeJazzArt strives to fill in these gaps with carefully researched, highly detailed facsimiles of said missing ephemera, combining vintage source materials (imagery, branding, type) with original elements (inspired by contemporaneous designs). Our goals are to either a) faithfully recreate something close to what might have been; or b) reproduce in higher fidelity what's been lost. We're proud to bring our highly collectible artwork to jazz fans everywhere, making exceptional visuals that pay tribute to these performances widely available for the first time. We sincerely hope you do enjoy this piece, and find it a worthy constituent of your home or office décor. (Remember: Digital screens are typically more vibrant than printed pages. The preview images provided in this listing are for illustrative purposes only; due to printing variations and editorial decisions, you can expect that the colors, details, etc. in the actual piece you receive will vary somewhat from their representations here. Also, the preview images have been watermarked for security purposes; these marks are not included when printing your finished piece.) ================ (sold unframed only)
