Chet Baker - Almost Blue

the musician : Chet Baker
the tune : Almost blue
the artist : Salli S. Swindell

And for those who might think the image does not illustrate the music, here is Salli's explanation : "The other night my husband was playing music and I had my ink pens out. I started drawing whatever came to mind as the music was playing… very spontaneous, very free. When my husband came into the room I asked him what the music was and he said “Chet Baker - Almost blue”. I thought it was a bit wild that I had sat there drawing waves while the song played… So I thought I would add color and so on… here it is."

Satisfied, are you?
