NEA JAZZ MASTER Sheila Jordan is not only one of the premier singers in jazz, but she is known for her stimulating vocal workshops as well. A superb scat singer, she can just as easily reach the emotional depths of a ballad. Whether singing well-known standards or original material, she makes it all sound like no one else. Ms. Jordan has been called "one of the most consistently creative of all jazz singers."
Advance tickets: $23 Artists Collective members, students, seniors and GHAC Let's Go Members This event is supported by NEA Jazz Masters Live, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest Jackie McLean Memorial Celebration
Wednesday, May 16 * Artists Collective Atrium, 1200 Albany Avenue, Hartford, CT
Opening Reception JoeSam "Art for the Rest of Us" Art Exhibit Born and raised in Harlem, New York. JoeSam vividly remembers looking at colors and textures. "I spent a lot of time looking at hues of peeling paint. It was that old lead-based paint that peeled periodically, especially when the ceiling leaked. We always had these incredible designs on our walls. I am a mixed media artist. Whenever possible I use materials in the state in which they were found. My work reflects the fact that I'm a Black artist. My colors, patterns, and designs are multi-faceted and combine many parallel elements in a single piece of work analogous to the way African derived music combines parallel rhythmic and melodic elements. The content of my work reflects issues and ideas concerning people of color." 5:00 – 8:00 pm Free
