Hey All, Just passing on info about a History of Jazz library program. We've not had Galen present at our library, but it looks like it would be a great program.

Check out Galen's info--Master Flutist/Jazz Historian/Educator/Lecturer Regarding the possibility of Galen performing for your organization, I am attaching promotional information for your perusal. Biography Galen is an extraordinary flutist with an extensive performance career. He is also a riveting speaker with encyclopedic knowledge on the history of jazz and the Civil Rights Movement. Galen studied at Berklee College of Music and holds a Master’s Degree in Education and Performing Arts from Rutgers University, New Jersey. Overview Our programs are designed with a focus on jazz history, women in jazz, and the elements of jazz as well as an overall understanding of musicology. This is often accomplished via lecture/demonstrations, master classes, and music performances. The primary goal is to provide students with an understanding and appreciation of this art form, its cultural background, and historical significance. Notably, Jazz was an instrument of expression during some of the most difficult periods in American history and is also considered an important pathway to a greater appreciation of music in general. Most performances include a music trivia. Lectures are exquisitely colored power-point presentations and are entitled Women in Jazz, History of Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Jazz and the Civil Rights Movement.
