From fearless markings to carefully crafted messages, and from surreal imaginings in fabric and string to memories of actual events captured in real time, the combined effect of the work in Syncopate: Homage to Jazz, is joyful. Andres Chaparro brings grit, clarity, and assurance to collage and painting. Donald Boudreaux maps out pathways here and there with his eyes closed and his heart open. Bobby Davis stands with feet firmly planted as his camera attests to history in the making. Rodney Madison places the most unusual shapes and colors in the most surprising places. And Terry Jenoure stitches together soft fabric to salute memorable performance moments.
“The jazz ensemble is an iconic example of democracy because each musician contributes sounds that produce effects far more potent than its individual offerings,” explains Jenoure. “Syncopate, through its broad range of mediums, promises the same interplay and generously offers an invitation to experience some magic.”
