Undated.
Set at the annual Chicago Jazz Festival on a beautiful, warm Saturday afternoon, the afternoon of September 4th, on Chicago's Grant Park and Millennium Park, respectively, this sketch letter, prefaced with the feel-good Seals and Crofts classic "Summer Breeze" (1972), is an ode to both old school jazz and summer as it shows the writer/artist keeping busy with his sketches, staying under the influence of the cool, red wine and the hot, classic sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and the recently departed Abbey Lincoln (an amazing storyteller in her songs), to name a few, among the legends of jazz.
