Mark Turner Quintet: Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

With lyrical, original music and spoken passages, jazz saxophonist Mark Turner and his ensemble reflect upon The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, the landmark novel by James Weldon Johnson about a young biracial man in post-Reconstruction era America. This poignant musical exploration of race, class, and privilege is not to be missed.
