Bernard Hoyes Unveils New Work at Bluebird Art House

Whittier, CA – Visual art master Bernard Stanley Hoyes is swirling his magical paint brush once again. The artist/sculptor traveled the globe last year, making headlines with his New York installation of a six-foot blue fin tuna sculpture, titled “The Grand Catch,” which he crafted from granite in Fuzhou City in the Fujian Province of China, and then touring Amsterdam and Germany on his “2009 Fall Tour-Europe.” The Bluebird Art House will now experience his kaleidoscope of vision with a new show entitled “Landscapes; flora and fauna, watercolor impressions of the Land in transition” on May 8, 2010 in Whittier, CA. The Bluebird Art House is located at 6747 Bright Avenue in Whittier. A special opening reception for the artist will be held at the gallery on May 8 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Allen Toussaint, Take 6, Branford Marsalis, Mulgrew Miller, Roy Haynes, Manhattan Transfer, Kirk Whalum, and Mambo Legends Orchestra on tap.

Today, festival organizers announced the lineup for the 31st Detroit International Jazz Festival (DJF), Friday, September 3 through Monday, September 6, in downtown Detroit.

Subtitled “Flame Keepers – Carrying the Torch for Modern Jazz,” the Detroit Jazz Fest will feature a veritable “dean’s list” of alumni who passed through the “schools” of Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Betty Carter, Ray Brown, Miles Davis and Gil Evans. “2010 artists Mulgrew Miller, Bobby Watson, Branford Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Randy Brecker, and Benny Green were all in Blakey’s band at one time or another,” says festival director Terri Pontremoli. “These musicians went on to develop their own bands, explore new territory and nurture a new generation of flame keepers,” she added. “In jazz, a lot of press is given to the veterans or to the young lions. I am happy to focus this year on these “middle men” who are in the peak of their creative and technical powers, making significant music in our time.”
