BLUE BIG BAND

Blue Big Band is Swampscott, MA’s all ages jazz ensemble playing everything from Big Band to Bossa Nova. Lucky for me, I used to work for one of the trombone players who asked me to make a flier for their upcoming show. Working on this flier swept me into the smooth curves of Lester Young and Johnny Hodges with dots serving as keys and drum beats. I also did a version which was the one ultimately used that showed the pride of having 3 trombones in the band as front and center with simple renditions of other brass instruments to support. I love working on music posters because the type of music can really influence the visual style and that’s an endlessly cool collaboration.
