Dave Brubeck’s Hands
(AKA, The Masters Hands)

Original: $3,000

     By the time of his demise in 2012, Dave Brubeck was one of only a handful of jazz musicians who could be considered household names. An NEA Jazz Master, he was a genuine ambassador of America’s one indigenous art form, appearing in uncountable countries and venues. His appearance at the 2009 Pittsfield CityJazz Festival, during the 50th celebration of his “Take 5” hit, was his final performance in the Berkshires.
     On the evening of that performance, he signed the original, which  was donated to a fundraising auction for The Colonial. It is now owned privately and this original painting is now being offered for sale at this exhibit with the proceeds to be donated to Berkshires Jazz.
