“This record is a 1965 compilation release by the UK arm of the record label Pickwick, known mainly for their cheap sound-alike releases and knock-up compilations. But I like this record particularly because it contains tracks I don’t have on any other of my/grandfather’s Ellington LPs (of which there are several); compositions such as his 1947 The Beautiful Indians Suite with two sections: Hiawatha and Minnehaha, inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. The second of these is a little surprising when, after the instrumental Hiawatha we get an almost operatic voice vocalising on Minnehaha. I discovered this is Kay Davis, a singer who often performed with the Duke. She has a crystal clear voice, a “classically trained coloratura” according to her obituary in the NYT. . Side Two has another jazz suite on offer, this time his 1946 Happy Go Lucky Local, which offers in only 3.5 minutes a fantastic mood piece of the Deep South, where you can hear the trains a-moving, chugging down the line. The second part heats up, with some jumping piano and screams from the trumpet. It’s very inventive, it’s perfectly played, it’s just brilliant jazz...” .

Winter seems to be fast approaching and we're feeling inspired by these knitted designs by Kay Davis. Based in South East London, Kay is currently studying textiles at Central Saint Martins, whilst also practising documentary photography and painting.

Usually my work focuses on the black experience, femininity, nostalgia, vulnerability and youth. This a subject I passionately hold close to me and i’d like to expand and include males to the equation.

This means I need to step out of my comfort zone. I’ve been illustrating females for the past 7years... Can you help me make this shift?

I’m collecting childhood / teen photos to help me practice illustrating boys. Studying portraits in particular.

Searching google for images just isn’t the same. I want to learn your stories and feel your experiences.

I’ll be collecting these through email my [email protected]

Would love and appreciate the help.

Kay
