Join us for a festive evening of music and refreshments in the courtyard behind the museum with a local jazz ensemble led by trombonist, pianist, and composer Caleb A. Smith (OC 2019). Smith composed a piece inspired by a vivid painting in the Allen’s collection by Cleveland artist Michelangelo Lovelace. Hear the piece’s public debut played by Smith on trombone/piano and band mates Gabriel Jones on drums, Ahmed Zuberi McLemore (OC 2024) on bass, and Nathan-Paul W. Davis on saxophone/flute.
