A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - Jazz serves as a visual symphony, embodying freedom, improvisation, and the visceral pulse of urban life. Symbolically, it represents the breaking of traditional structures, while psychologically it mirrors the human capacity for spontaneous expression and emotional resilience. Since 1950, artists have translated these auditory rhythms into vibrant visual forms. Jean-Michel Basquiat is a seminal figure in this dialogue; his 1983 masterpiece Horn Players country explosive homage to jazz legends through frantic, lyrical lines. Romare Bearden also redefined the theme with his intricate collages, such as Out Chorus (1979), which captures the rhythmic soul and history of New Orleans and Harlem. In photography, the world-famous Herman Leonard stands unrivaled for capturing the atmospheric smoke and soul of the genre, notably in his 1953 portrait Miles Davis, Birdland, NYC. This selection explores how contemporary creators continue to find inspiration in Trumpet's wail and the raw energy of the jam session.
