National Jazz Museum in Harlem Events
January 3 - 9, 2010 Saturday Panel: An Evening with Reggie Workman and Friends
Jazz For Curious Readers: Shelia Anderson
Kick off the new year with the National Jazz Museum In Harlem for this week's JAZZ FOR CURIOUS READERS and SATURDAY PANEL. Join us for JFCR as Shelia Anderson, author and WOBC jazz radio host, discusses her career in the jazz literary world.
This week's SATURDAY PANEL is an evening with Reggie Workman and friends. Legendary bassist Reggie Workman will screen the film “Reggie Workman's Sculpted Sounds Presents Trio 3: At This Time." The film includes Reggie and other famous jazz musicians, so be sure not to miss it!
Monday, January 4, 2010 Jazz for Curious Readers 7:00 - 8:30pm Location: NJMH Visitors Center (104 E. 126th Street, Suite 2C) FREE | For more information: 212-348-8300 or register online
As host-producer of a TV and a radio program on jazz in the New York City area, Anderson, author of The Quotable Musician: From Bach to Tupac, has met and interviewed musicians, composers, and other music industry professionals from all genres, classical to jazz. For her latest book, How to Grow as a Musician, she put her connections to good use and culled the wisdom and personal experiences of 30 prominent musicians, including Grammy Award-winning performer Al Jarreau; Paula Kimper, a composer of opera, theater, film, and dance music; and Eric Reed, a jazz pianist who has played with the Wynton Marsalis Septet, Joe Henderson, Cassandra Wilson, and a multitude of other masters. Anderson weaves together a comprehensive guide that reveals the fundamentals necessary for living a creative and successful life in music, with insights on getting started, developing as an artist, composing, recording, songwriting, preparing for performance, working with a manager, and signing contracts. She shares musicians' candid and poignant advice on triumph and failure, self-evaluation, ego checks, and personal growth.
In our discussion with this leading lady of jazz radio (nicknamed “The Queen of Hang"), expect not only musician quotes and advice on surviving a career in music, but loads of hilarious anecdotes from her decades of first-hand observation on the front lines of jazz music.
