In this hour, we’ll kick off a new series on jazz's connection to the arts with the rich and colorful history of jazz’s relationship with the visual arts. We’ll talk with one of the world’s big thinkers on this topic, Dr. Robert O’Meally, about how the worlds of art and music collided during the Harlem Renaissance, and explore the life and art of the so-called jazz painter Romare Bearden. And we’ll take a look at the life and work of iconic jazz photographer William Gottlieb, and hear the story of the “great day in Harlem” that gave us what’s arguably the most storied photograph in the history of jazz.
