The Art of Romare Bearden by Ruth Fine (Published by the National Gallery of Art)New Directions for Winds and Strings
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis has created a CD titled “Romare Bearden Revealed.” Performing with his quartet, Marsalis pays tribute to Bearden's remarkable collages of blues and jazz musicians by arranging songs that had inspired the artist. Today, Marsalis talks with host John Schaefer about his relationship to Bearden, whom he befriended in the 1980s. The Imani Winds, a young wind quintet of African/Latin American heritage, has just released a CD titled The Classical Underground. It features jazz- and Latin-inspired classical music that shakes up the expectations of the genre. Members of the ensemble stop by today to share their vibrant music.
