blue tunes
exhibition: Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury
May 17– August 17, 2008
Oakland, Museum
Oakland, CA
the exhibition “birth of the cool” inspired me to find these blue tune associations with a full spectrum of musical genres: jazz, blues, traditional and contemporary classical, rock & roll, folk, world music and more enter the spectrum of blues by mood and/or through lyrics.
