Marcell Bellinger and Band in Concert
Philadelphia Jazz Project (PJP) and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) collaborate on public programming in conjunction with the PAFA exhibition, Procession: The Art of Norman Lewis. Lewis, (1909-1979) a Black American, was a pivotal figure in American art, a participant in the Harlem art community, an innovator of Abstract Expressionism, and a politically-conscious activist whose work was often inspired by Jazz music and musicians. Acknowledging that creative connection, trumpeter and composer Marcell Bellinger will present a performance of new musical works commissioned by PJP and created in response to the visual art work of Norman Lewis. In addition, artists, musicians and thinkers will gather together to discuss how artists using one art form can inspire and stimulate the creative expression of artists using another art form.
