This has to be the most efficient use of shapes to create an atmosphere that I have ever encountered on this site, or anywhere else for that matter.
The angular nature of the musicians and buildings tell us that it is jazz that is being played without any need for a title. Furthermore, the colour scheme used tells us quite explicitly that this is night time again, no need for a title. I particularly like the way that the street lamps are bending their ears to listen to the music.
There are two things, however, that I find need further work. Firstly, the bottom 1/8 of the image, which appears to be a black rectangle, seems to be surplus to requirements. There is nothing happening here of interest, so why does it exist? The buildings are dancing, so why not the street itself? As it stands, it is no more than an extended frame to the picture.
The other, albeit slight, criticism is the line of music in the sky which, apart from having 4 beats in one bar followed by another bar of 2 beats with no change in time signature, does not add to the mood of the image. I believe that the whole composition would be better without it being there, especially as it becomes an annoyance to anyone who reads music. A couple of notes coming from the instruments themselves would be preferable but, admittedly cliche.
These two minor points aside, I find this image a refreshing change of style. It is simple, and yet very powerful in its imagery. Furthermore, the title is not needed as the image says it all.
A beautiful piece from a most accomplished artist. I look forward to seeing more.
