A Concerto is a Conversation

A virtuoso jazz pianist and film composer tracks his family’s lineage through his 91-year-old grandfather from Jim Crow Florida to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Black arts matter is the pulsating melody in this beautiful story about the River City Drum Corps founded by “Nardie” White and his late wife, Zambia Nkrumah. They inspired African-American youth in their Louisville, KY neighborhood by connecting them with the culture of their African ancestors.&nbsp;&nbsp;White passes the torch to new leadership under Albert Shumake, a young artist whose troubled life was transformed by his musical drumline experience. Glorious, rhythmic drum battles enliven this thoughtful doc about what it means to make a difference and the lasting impact of art, love, and community. Presented by Sandy Liotta | The Liotta Osterman Buchinski Group at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
