This page contains watercolors and drawings that I recently completed in Washington DC at Colonel Brooks Tavern.  The tavern, located near Catholic University, is the Tuesday night hangout of the Federal Jazz Commission. The Federal Jazz Commission is a band from Washington, D.C. specializing in classic jazz as it was performed by small groups in the 1920's, particularly those of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong. Its repertoire includes rags, stomps, marches, blues, cakewalks, hymns, fox trots, and one-steps. Despite such variety, the music of the Federal Jazz Commission is always joyous and perfect for dancing.

The watercolors are 9 x 12 inches and are selling for $125
