TAL FARLOW & DANNIE RICHMOND: IN BLACK AND WHITE

Two jazz giants. Two distinct musical voices. One extraordinary connection to Greensboro, North Carolina.

As part of my Creative Greensboro GROW Artist Residency, I'm exploring the lives, legacies, and musical innovations of guitar virtuoso Tal Farlow and legendary drummer Dannie Richmond, best known for his groundbreaking partnership with Charles Mingus.

This project goes beyond celebrating jazz history. It's about uncovering the musical, cultural, and community connections that made Greensboro part of a much larger story in American music.

Through historical research, storytelling, musical analysis, and live performance, I'm connecting their contributions to the continuing evolution of jazz—and examining how rhythm, improvisation, and musical conversation transcend generations.

As a Greensboro musician, educator, and bandleader, this work is also personal. Their history is connected to the same musical community that helped shape my own journey.

This isn't just about remembering history. It's about recognizing that we're still making it.

📍 JOIN ME AT THE GROW RESIDENCY!

🎉 New NC Certified Environmental Educator! Congratulations to Kristin McMinds, a homeschooling mom and caretaker from Greensboro. “I have learned to be more flexible in my approach to environmental education and to follow children’s natural curiosity. Specifically, this has helped me in teaching my son. Rather than focusing solely on delivering a planned lesson, I now pay closer attention to the student's questions, observations and interests and let these drive conversations and lessons. This has helped me create more engaging, child-centered experiences that foster a deeper connection with nature.” Kristin also credits the Kathleen Clay Edwards Library in Greensboro. “I have always been drawn to nature-based learning, but I lacked the direction, knowledge and tools to know how to turn that interest into something more meaningful. I am incredibly grateful for all of the environmental education programs offered through the library. What began simply as a way to spend time outdoors with my son ultimately opened up a new path for me. I really enjoyed connecting with other like-minded people who shared my curiosity and appreciation for nature. At many of the workshops, I found myself feeling like a little kid again: excited to explore, ask questions, and discover something new.” @catawbacenter4env @catawbacollege
