Today, the Spotlight shines On saxophonist and composer Javon Jackson. Javon spoke with us about his film score for the art-world documentary With Peter Bradley (Solid Jackson Records).Peter Bradley has had a 50-year career as an abstract artist, but one that saw him getting little acclaim until the last few years. In addition to his work as an artist, the daily practice of which is documented in the film, Bradley was a mover and shaker in various mid-late 20th century modern art scenes. His work is interconnected with his love of jazz, to the point that Javon calls Bradley a "musician whose instrument is paint." The score for the film conjures Bradley's favorite jazz icons—Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Jackson's former employer, Art Blakey.
