Bang on a Can: from the Margins Featuring Steve Coleman & Friends at The Jewish Museum

About

From the Margins, presented by Bang on a Can, features on the spot improvisation by recent MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship recipient Steve Coleman (alto saxophone), joined by musicians and frequent collaborators Jonathan Finlayson (trumpet) and Anthony Tidd (bass). Tied to the Museum exhibition which features innovative works by two powerful abstract painters, Lee Krasner & Norman Lewis, the performance will highlight the relationship between Abstract Expressionism and jazz in mid-century New York City.

This program is a part of the Jewish Museum and Bang on a Can's partnership to produce a series of dynamic musical performances inspired by the Jewish Museum's diverse slate of exhibitions.
