Think about jazz musicians. They are the epitome of creativity. They become completely one with their music, expressing themselves in a gifted way that only like-minded individuals are able to understand and appreciate. Jazz music speaks to the soul and touches emotions and feelings. How would you pay homage to a jazz musician in a stylized photo or graphic? This is exactly what Rick Henry thought about and has delivered in his new book, "Rick Henry's Jazz Art." He has taken 24 of his favorite jazz musicians and has let their music speak to his soul. The result is a tribute to each musician in the form of a unique artistic interpretation. Each graphic is a total feast for the eyes in colors that are deep, rich and bright. There is nothing subdued here. Each graphic is as expressive as the individual musician. Rick has also provided a concise snapshot of the personal and career highlights of each musician to accompany each graphic. He gives us selected details that are worth knowing and remembering. Each summary perfectly honors these illustrious jazz musicians. So let the graphics in this book speak to you. And let your eyes "hear" the music.

Richard Cross, author of "Lee Harvey Oswald - Rogue KGB Agent," has found it in his heart to share the true, heartbreaking story of his beloved son Rick, lost to his loving family through the insidious nightmare of drug addiction. Even though Rick had advantages others could only hope for - a loving family, financial support, an impressive I.Q., and a good education, he was unable to resist the siren call of marijuana, then OxyCodone and other prescription pain killers, and finally heroin and cocaine. His younger brother, adopted at the age of twelve months when Rick was six years old, had his own issues. Born with special needs, Kevin became easy prey for both the system and his so-called friends, finally succumbing to alcoholism as a young man. Both brothers had access to first-rate rehabilitation centers. Kevin would not stay for the program in which he was enrolled, but Rick did - he stuck it out for the entire three years, and after his release was able to find meaningful employment with a generous salary; he finally began to live the life for which he had always planned. Sadly, the temptation put in front of him by a fiancee with access to prescription painkillers proved to be too much for him, and Rick met a violent, sad end at age 42. Richard Cross tells his son's story with compassion and deep love, and with the fervent hope that this stark, truthful look at the real life of an addict will help others to avoid the path he followed.
