From the Archives: The Richard White Trio, Art of Jazz Virtual Series

June 18, 2020 @ 12:00 AM

The Gibbes Museum and Charleston Jazz are delighted to share the virtual series From the Archives: Art of Jazz Edition. Under normal circumstances, we would all be enjoying this ongoing series together, live and in person, but it has been postponed due to COVID-19. As an alternative, each month, Charleston Jazz will release a full Art of Jazz performance on Facebook and YouTube. Richard White Trio Originally performed live on June 19, 2019 Richard White is one of the most dynamic pianists and composers in the Charleston area. Inspired by the traveling exhibition Black Refractions: Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem, the Richard White Trio performed new compositions as part of the 3rd Annual Art of Jazz Series at the Gibbes Museum of Art. White was joined by Brett Belanger on bass and David Patterson on drums. See the full set list here. Founded in 1968, the Studio Museum in Harlem is internationally known for its catalytic role in promoting the works of artists of African descent. This series would not be possible without the support from our Art of Jazz Sponsors: the Kite Foundation Fund, Art Bridges, the Gibbes’ Women’s Council, Fox Music, 5Church Charleston, Hyams Garden and Accent Store, the Joseph J. Schott Foundation, the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant, and Charleston Magazine.
