When Langston Hughes wrote the kaleidoscopic jazz poem “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz,” he scored it with musical cues; this creative masterwork was left unperformed at the time of his death in 1967. Now, a multimedia concert performance brings to life this funny, demanding, fantastical, political, genre-bending poem, complete with visuals, spoken word, and jazz accompaniment. Created and performed by Dr. Ron McCurdy and his inspired quartet.
All performances in the Luther College Center Stage Series are held on campus in the Center for Faith and Life Main Hall at 7:30pm. For information about performances, parking, Center Stage Dinner Series and more visit tickets.luther.edu or call 563.387.1357.
