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.

Rick Henry's little novel, Colleen's Count, Wednesday, August 16th, 1933, has a Joycean air and ear to it, a lightness in its depth, but only if Joyce had been a feminist living in the Adirondacks in the Depression era 30's. The title character is an Everywoman whose spirit, strength, and humanity ring true. Reading Colleen is like finding some precious object buried in rich mulch. -Stuart BartowRick Henry's short novel is a tour de force about women's lives in the Adirondacks in the 1920s and early 30s. Ostensibly about cars, it gradually reveals itself to be about those entwined eternal verities: sex, death and money. (And cars. And movies). Though slim, the book successfully brings to life an entire town, and era, as seen through the eyes of one woman, Colleen O'Shea Pierce, going about her day in 1933; in the process, she reveals herself to be far more Molly than Leopold Bloom. The book stays with you, troubling and disturbing, raising questions with no clear answers, much like life itself, -Barbara Ungar
