New York, NY (January 3, 2005) Swing into the New Year with The Jazz Museum in Harlem and four standard bearers who keep the legacy of jazz alive! The Harlem Speaks series, designed to give due recognition to musicians and others of great value to Harlem jazz, continues on alternate Thursdays with bass great, Larry Ridley on January 13, 2005, followed by a discussion with one of the country's most accomplished architects, Harlem's own Max Bond, on January 27th. This set of four honorees is rounded out by saxophonist Willie Mack of the New Amsterdam Musical Association on February 10th and trumpeter Joey Morant on February 24th.
Larry Ridley, a Schomburg Center artist-in-residence, was originally scheduled to appear in Harlem Speaks in October 2004, but a brief ailment caused a postponement. The Jazz Museum in Harlem is pleased that Mr. Ridley, one of the top jazz educators in the nation, will now engage Executive Director Loren Schoenberg in a wide-ranging discussion on his career and the future of jazz in Harlem and elsewhere for the first session of 2005. Early in his career, Ridley gigged with Freddie Hubbard and Wes Montgomery back home in Indiana; then, in the1960s, he moved to New York, where he served as bassist for Thelonious Monk, and many other top professionals. He currently leads the Jazz Legacy Ensemble.
Architect Max Bond is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished African-American architects of the 20th century. After attaining a bachelor
