A soft, contemplative jazz journal featuring a soulful portrait in shades of blue. The cover showcases original artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges—a graceful side profile of a jazz vocalist crowned with a signature gardenia, rendered in continuous line technique with layered blues and warm orange accents. Clean and elegant without text, this blues notebook lets the artwork speak for itself, inviting introspection, creativity, and reflective writing.

Inspired by the legendary Billie Holiday and the timeless tradition of blues music, this portrait captures the depth and emotion of jazz's golden era. The flowing linework mirrors the fluid, soulful essence of the blues, while vibrant African fabric collage elements add cultural richness and warmth. Inside, smooth 90gsm ruled pages provide a satisfying glide for everyday notes, journaling, poetry, or song lyrics.

The metal spiral lies flat for easy writing across both sides, and a hidden document pocket in the back keeps loose notes, ticket stubs, or mementos safe. Sized to slip into a bag or rest on a desk, this music notebook feels personal and thoughtful—a small companion for reflective moments, creative expression, and daily musings. It's a tribute to African American jazz heritage and the enduring legacy of Black musical artistry.
