Cornell College Music Mondays Concert Series: Wayfaring
<p><strong>Taking its name from a beloved American folk song, Wayfaring is a duo project between bassist/vocalist Katie Ernst and clarinetist James Falzone. What began as a casual meeting between like-minded players has formed into a collective of unusual nuance and depth, drawing on source material from the jazz tradition, hymns, folk songs, and original compositions from Ernst and Falzone. Wayfaring was featured at the 2016 Hyde Park Jazz Festival and will release their debut recording, I Move, You Move, in Fall 2017 on the Allos Documents label. A live recording of the duo was included on Constellation's 2015 compilation Nine/Two, featuring many of Chicago's finest jazz and improvised music artists.<br></strong></p>

Dr. Kinohi Nishikawa: "Black Art and Book Design"
<p>Join Dr. Kinohi Nishikawa for his discussion "Black Art and Book Design", Who is the audience for African American Literature?</p><p>It's a question that has hovered over the profession of black authorship for much of the twentieth century. Critics have long pointed out how authors intentions were routinely undercut by editorial revision and bowdlerization. But a more powerful, if overlooked influence on black writing, this talk suggests lay in the design of books themselves. Compromising the interface between a literary work and it's audience, visual elements such as typography, illustration, and cover and jacket design often had the final say in the "look" of black books.</p><p>Thursday September 13th at 5:30</p><p>At Cornell College</p><p>FREE and open to the public, part of Humanities Iowa Presentations</p><p>for more information on this event email, sdonaldson@blackiowa.org</p> 2018-07-13 19:00:00 -0500
