15 Paintings/Illustrations by Artist Jonathan Fox
A huge thanks to all of my friends and family who helped make this night possible. I could not create art without this kind of support. My prayer for this art show is that you genuinely encounter Jesus through these 15 pieces. I hope your conversations and interactions through the night are rich and that you leave with a full heart!

He is one of the premier in demand Jazz pianist / vocalists in the Southeast, having carved himself a niche, doing straightahead jazz piano coupled with “Sinatra style“ vocals. As an educator he is equally adept.

For more than a decade, Ray was Director of Student Jazz Programs at the Alabama Jazz Hall Of Fame, and was the creator and director of the “Fun With Jazz“ educational program, which originated through the auspices of the Alys Stephens Center For The Performing Arts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. In addition, Ray produces jazz and classical recordings and directs the Magic City Jazz Orchestra, a recording and concert big band composed of some of the best jazz players Alabama has to offer. Ray has performed with and arranged for numerous notable musicians, including Clark Terry, Leonard Candelaria, Ken Watters, Blue Lou Marini (of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Saturday Night Live Band, and James Taylor), Ernie Watts, Dizzy Gillespie, Ellis Marsalis, Cleveland Eaton of the Count Basie Orchestra, Chuck Redd, Bill Goodwin, Lew Soloff and Chaka Khan with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra.
