TIM SAYS:

The first in the 'jazz club' series, in which a woman watches the cornetist play his solo. A fan she may be - but there's a lot more to this scene. Does she own the place? What's really going on here?

This captivating piece by Tim Shorten draws the viewer into the smoky, atmospheric world of a late-night jazz club. Bathed in soft, diffused light, a cornetist stands at the centre of the scene, lost in the intensity of his solo as tendrils of smoke curl upward, echoing the music’s fluid rhythm. Behind him, fellow musicians fade into the haze, while the warm glow of the room creates an intimate, almost cinematic mood.

In the foreground, a poised and elegant woman sits quietly observing, a cigarette in hand and cocktails resting on the table beside her. Her presence is both calm and commanding, adding a layer of intrigue that invites the viewer to look deeper.

Tim’s masterful use of light, shadow, and atmosphere creates a sense of mystery and narrative tension, capturing not just a performance, but a moment suspended in time—where music, mood, and unspoken stories intertwine.
