Influenced directly by modern and fusion Jazz musicians, such as notables, Ornette Coleman and Ronald Shannon Jackson, this art digest communicates a reflection of the diverse harmonic resources of personality found in contemporary music.

There are explicit forms and non-explicit forms represented here. For instance the arbitrary use of pattern and pure color powerfully tell as much as the figurative elements themselves explain.
