Evolution of the Blues

Join us for an afternoon of music and history.  Joe Becton sings and plays traditional musical instruments as he takes participants on a walk through American history and music from Sy Gillat to John Coltrane.  He traces styles of music developed by Africans in America and the collision of cultures that created the music we call gospel, jazz and blues.
