As part of his course on Black history, Christopher Forlini has invited the trombone player and educator Baron Arnold to come to our university. He will teach a class and play a concert on May 5 at 7:30 in Cafe Nerly; this concert will be an exploration of the African-American musical tradition and aesthetic. The drummer Genius Wesley (early 20s) is absolutely phenomenal – he has a style of drumming unique to the Bay Area and has been a professional musician since he was 14. He has already played with some real jazz legends (Kenny Garrett, Ravi Coltrane). May 5 is an opportunity to see him live in Erfurt.
