Jazz Art

Meta-art -- how fun! This page will ideally comprise both a pointer to internet examples of Jazz Art as well as reviews, commentary, etc. Art is meant to be interpreted in the widest possible terms (as always :-), including visual arts, literature, and other performing arts -- if you have the scoop, send it in!
