LISTEN: JAZZ AND SOCIAL JUSTICE AT NJMIH

Tuesday, June 27th, 7:00PM, Jazz and The Environment Salon Series at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, 58 West 129th Street, just east of Lenox. Jazz musicians have long responded to our political and social climate. Pianist Fabian Almazan is part of a fresh wave of activist artists. He’s formed Biophilia Records, a Harlem-based label that unites musicians with others who are concerned about the urgent challenge of climate change.

In this salon, Almazan performs his music for string quartet, and then talks about environmental issues with label partner and sustainability specialist Jessica Wu. They’re joined by host Larry Blumenfeld and trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, whose new project is in part a response to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.  More details on the NJMIH site: LINK
