Diallo Javonne French captures musicians lost in the pleasure of performing, documenting not just beautiful images but the state of the jazz music scene in Kansas City. His portraits have been shown in solo and group shows, including the recent “Testimony” exhibition at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
This year, Diallo raised more than $26,000 in a Kickstarter campaign to fund a film project, “Kansas City Dreamin’” that traces the history of the Kansas City sound from Lester Young to Janelle Monáe and includes an interview with Tech N9ne.
An air-conditioned studio is the setting for this intimate artist talk and conversation about the intersection of music, passion and film.
Maximum guests: 30
