Celebrate Black History month at the Wickham Library! Embark on a musical journey with the award-winning Sounds of A&R, led by April May Webb and Randall Haywood, that traces the roots and evolution of American music, from the soulful rhythms of jazz to the powerful beats of hip-hop. This adventure charts how jazz and hip-hop have shaped American culture, from the birth of jazz in New Orleans to Duke Ellington, exploring the revolutionary work of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, and concluding with the roots of hip hop in the Bronx, where pioneers like DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash began mixing beats.
For all ages. Register for a reminder: https://easthartfordct.libcal.com/event/15600625
