When Brian Turnock messaged me with the sad news that Maurice Van Eyck, formerly band leader of The New Orleans Z’Hulus, had passed away I promptly decided to ask my very good friend and fellow artist, Grace McKee, if she would paint a portrait of Maurice to commemorate him.
Then when I posted the portrait on Facebook and on my Facebook Jazzers Group the response was instantaneous and spontaneously positive. So I decided Grace’s portrait deserves pride of place as the latest art feature on Jazz&Jazz.
