The Making of "Reflections of Jazz"

"Reflections of Jazz", addresses some of the complexities and multi-faceted expressions that have accompanied the life and times of the genre, we know as jazz. This video is the making of the exhibition curated by Sonie Joi Thompson-Ruffin.

The influence of jazz has trickled down into a number of different aspects of global culture, including visual arts, film & photography. To help showcase that influence, the museum presents special exhibitions inspired by jazz music. The American Jazz Museum's Changing Gallery exhibition space showcases artists several times each year, with focused educational performances, lectures & workshops to support each exhibit. The Changing Gallery space is free and open to the public during regular museum hours. For more information about this space and any upcoming exhibits, please contact the American Jazz Museum at 816-474-8463
