When: through November 26, 2017
I figured something would pop up soon with a closing date before the end of the year, and sure enough, here's a portrait of Dizzy Gillespie to celebrate the centennial of his birth.
It's in the "Celebrate" space, which you will doubtless recall is also the "In Memoriam" space. I make it a point to see these offerings as quickly as possible, as you never know when a famous person will die and you'll be out of luck.
The thing I like most about the piece is that Gillespie is pictured at an angle. It's an innovative way to show an innovative musician, and it's large enough that you feel as if you're in the smoky jazz club with him.
Verdict: Good portrait of an important American.
