Jazz concert series will accompany fall exhibition at Kemper Museum

A news release sent out by the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University says that the museum "will sponsor free Saturday afternoon jazz concerts throughout the fall" in conjunction with the exhibition Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury.

The exhibition, which will be on display at the Kemper from September 19 through Jaunary 5, "takes a look at the broad cultural zeitgeist of "cool" that influenced the visual, graphic, and decorative arts, furniture, architecture, music, and film produced in California in the 1950s and early 1960s."

It's listed on the "Upcoming Exhibitions" page of the Kemper's Web site, but there's nothing more specific about the concert series, such as a schedule of performances, either in the news release or, so far, anywhere else on the Kemper's Web site. Still, it sounds like a promising notion, and so yr. StLJN editor will monitor the situation and have more info here when it's released.
