Romare Bearden had a very special relationship to music, he looked to music-jazz and the blues-for many of his subjects. He painted entire series of work entitled Of the Blues and of Jazz. They emerged from the memories of the South-of gospels and spirituals sung in church, of blues notes bending through warm nights. And they emerged from his life in New York-the sophistication of bands playing Harlem clubs, the excitement of crowded dance floors.
