Invisible Jazz Giants of the mid-20th Century performance and discussion

The Gabriel Schillinger-Hyman jazz quartet (ft. Langston Hughes II, Eytan Schillinger-Hyman, Michael Mitchel) celebrates the timeless works of Black, Jewish, Women, and Queer luminaries whose impact on jazz and popular culture in the 2nd half of the 20th century was profound and unmistakable. Yet in order to make a living in an industry that reflected the structural racism, antisemitism, sexism, and homophobia that gripped the nation, many of these legends had to become invisible. In a discussion of the lives and in our performance of the musical works of these invisible giants in jazz, Gabriel’s quartet brings to the limelight a part of American history that, like its players, has struggled to be seen and heard. 

Tickets: for admission, send Gabriel and email at gabrielshmusic@gmail.com no later than Aug 12th 3pm. This is a free performance with limited space, so no walk-ins allowed.
