VisLang: Jazz Research

Dave Frishberg is very interesting. During his childhood he taught himself to play the piano, but didn't want to learn classical music because of his interest in blues. After graduating high school Frishberg joined the Air Force and served for a couple of years until he decided that he wanted to be a freelance piano player. During his career Dave Frishberg made some crazy songs about random things. Some of his most popular include "I'm hip" "Health Food Nut" and the one we all know "I'm just a bill" from school house rock. Frishberg is known for his amazing piano skills, but what makes him different that any other jazz/blues/bebop artists is that he is a great lyricist. While he was in the Air Force one of his generals told him that jazz is alright, but there aint enough words..... which i believe started his whole love for lyrics.













When i think of jazz i imagine loose, free images... like string. i also imaging reds, purples, and yellows...







And i see no reason for a font when i think about dave frishberg. his style is so loose and crazy that i feel that hand generated letters would be the best way to describe his style.. but if i ABSOLUTELY HAVE to choose a font for him it would be a sans serif font like Trade Gothic, because it's modern enough, like Frishberg's lyrics. and it's not as fancy as a seriffed font.
