Art & Jazz is a series dedicated to combining music and visual art to heighten the enjoyment of both art forms. Hosted by Muzeo, Art & Jazz will be presented live by Jazz Artist in Residence, Elena Gilliam.

Mary Lou Williams was a legendary pianist/composer/arranger, Melba Liston trombonist, Blanch Calloway band arranger/composer/singer, Vi Redd saxophonist/vocalist, guitarist Mary Osborne, and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm a touring band made up of women breaking racial barriers during the 40’s with band leader Anna Mae Winburn.
