The MonDak Heritage Center announces American Art & Democracy Come Together in Jazz by Wilbur Rehmann

Musician Wilbur Rehmann presents American Art & Democracy Come Together in Jazz on Monday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. at the MonDak Heritage Center, 120 3rd Ave SE, Sidney! Wilbur shows how America is the only place where the art form called jazz could have been created. He describes the roots of jazz in the field hollers and work songs of slaves and follows the art form through to the modern jazz era of the '40s, '50s, '60s, and beyond. Wilbur illustrates points with examples from recordings, his own saxophone playing, and video footage. American Art & Democracy Come Together in Jazz is part of Hometown Humanities Sidney and is FREE and open to the public. Join us! Sponsored by Humanities Montana, an independent, non-profit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
