The South Side Community Art Center, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Logan Center for the Arts, and University of Chicago invite you to a free, day-long symposium offered in conjunction with the February 14th performance by pianist/composer Gerald Clayton of his original suite, White Cities: A Musical Tribute to Charles White at the Logan Center for the Arts. The symposium explores sound, image, and history, offering a deeper engagement with Charles White’s multi-dimensional legacy. Discussions consider White’s work with musicians and music media—such as illustrations for jazz album covers and film and television, as well as his paintings, etchings, and drawings of musicians—and ways in which his work and legacy continue to reverberate across the cultural landscape, particularly as an influence for contemporary artists.
