Kermit Ruffins stayed in the city that gave birth to the music he loves. Not even Katrina could dislodge him from the source that nurtured his soul. Jazz devotees worldwide are richer for his immovable devotion to advancing the art of jazz vocals and trumpet in the city that first provided jazz's uniquely American voice. The joy of the music is given flesh by this man. Margaret Slade Kelley's portrait of New Orleans" native son is as timeless as his music. With a nod and a tip of his hat, Slade Kelley's Kermit conveys his delight at exploring and expanding the territory first trod by Buddy Bolden a century ago. Her classic forms convey the jazzman's spirit as surely as the 2001 poster of Louis Armsgtrong did. The unchanging tempo that swings New Orleans life echoes in the cultural verity of this courtyard scene. The palette captures the City's centuries-old patina. Slade Kelley's work reveals the essence that makes New Orleans such a precious American asset. In doing so she has crafted an embraceable classic image drenched in timerless authenticity.
