{"product_id":"jazz-hands-original-oil-painting","title":"Jazz Hands  - Original Oil Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eI first met Sam at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival(where he won the National Jazz Award) and I thought he would make a good subject for the Archibald Prize. He's a very funny guy, in this piece, it's the shirt that gives it away. I almost called this piece \"the serious face of the hilarious jazz man\". This painting was halfway done when my partner went into labour and it remained untouched for about 6 years to be eventually finished in 2022. I didn't enter it in the Archibald however, we are donating 30% of the proceeds to Support Act who have been an amazing aid for the music industry during the lockdown. -Benjamin Noah McCorquodale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA bit about Sam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased in Melbourne, Australia, Sam Anning has been a major player in Australian jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing a Masters of Music at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, Anning relocated to New York City, quickly becoming an in-demand bassist in one of the world’s most competitive cities.
