Miles Davis, the Painter
Miles Davis once mentored bassist Darryl Jones with the advice: “You know Darryl. One art helps the other.” This altruistic message, “one art helps the other" was in high praise of the fluid nature of artistic forms. Davis encouraged Jones to draw, to cook and to simply follow the thread of creative exploration. The trumpeter and jazz genius understood that in order to thrive, an artist must nurture one’s imagination beyond a single discipline.

French meets Californian Style
There are a lot of obvious differences between French and California style but the one similarity is that they both are effortless. In France, “effortless” is uncomplicated, classic. In California, “effortless” is comfortable, casual. There are many ways that combining these two tastes emerge, but the result is always approachable and beautiful.
