JAZZ HANDS
Introducing Jazz Hands, an original card deck personally illustrated and designed by me. Inspired by the cultural, historical, and aesthetic depth of jazz, these cards capture the essence of playful improvisation, diverse rhythms, and vibrant energy inherent in the genre. With number cards resembling music sheets and the Joker card reflecting the evolution of fashion and movement inspired by jazz, each card pays homage to this dynamic art form. Aces represent notable jazz instruments, while face cards showcase iconic jazz musicians, providing a comprehensive tribute to this rich musical heritage.
FACE CARDS
Each face card in the deck displays my original illustration of three iconic jazz musicians. Their positions honor their immense influence in the realm of jazz, with each symbol deliberately chosen to reflect their cultural and historical significance.
JACK
QUEEN
Rahsaan Roland Clark is a jack of all trades, excelling as a saxophonist, flutist, and vocalist. His innovative compositions solidify him as a polymath in jazz, leaving a lasting legacy.
JOKER
KING
The Joker reveres jazz for its profound impact on cultural symbolism and aesthetic trends.
The Queen of jazz, Ella Fitzgerald, stands as a legendary vocalist often hailed as the "First Lady of Song," representing an enduring icon of musical excellence.
Miles Davis, king of jazz, revolutionized the genre with his innovative sound and unparalleled trumpet talent. His influence spans generations, cementing his status as a jazz icon.

CARD BACK
The backs of the cards bear greater visual prominence than the fronts, facilitating rapid differentiation between the two sides. This design decision also harmoniously incorporates all the colors present in the deck, echoing the collaborative and unified essence of jazz music.
