Brian O'Connor is a talented artist who has captured the essence of jazz legends in his stunning artwork. From Ronnie Scott's iconic club in London to the Royal Festival Hall, O'Connor has documented some unforgettable moments in music history. In 1994, at Ronnie Scott's, he immortalized the legendary saxophonist Ronnie Scott himself. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this piece to life, capturing the energy of that night. Another masterpiece by O'Connor takes us back to 1984 when Art Blakey graced the stage at Ronnie Scott's. The intensity on Blakey's face is palpable as he leads his band through an unforgettable performance. O'Connor also had the privilege of capturing Jackie McLean at Jazz Cafe in April 1991. This piece showcases McLean's raw talent and passion for his craft. One of O'Connor's most memorable works features Billy Higgins and David Williams performing at Ronnie Scott's in September 1993. Their chemistry on stage is evident as they create magic with their instruments. Toots Thielemans, the Belgian jazz musician, was another subject of O'Connor's artistry. His portrayal of Thielemans captures both his skillful playing and charismatic presence during a performance at Ronnie Scott’s in 1978. Joe Pass mesmerizes audiences with his guitar skills at Ronnie Scott’s Soho location in London back in 1984 – a moment perfectly preserved by Brian O’Connor’s brushstrokes. The Royal Festival Hall witnessed Miles Davis' genius firsthand in 1989, beautifully depicted by O’Connor’s artistic vision. The painting transports us to that magical evening filled with Davis' unmistakable soundscapes. Tony Bennett and Ralph Sharon brought their timeless melodies to Fairfield Halls Croydon in March 1988 - an event forever etched into memory thanks to Brian O’Connor’s evocative artwork. Eliane Elias enchants her audience at Jazz Cafe in Camden, London, in July 1991.
