The Art & Science of Hang-out-ology: David Amram in Conversation with Cliff Pearson

David Amram, “Renaissance Man of American Music” and real-life Zelig, is now in his sixth year as Artist Emeritus of The Village Trip. He is the spirit of the festival, and a link to more than a half-century of fabled Village history. Indeed, David has lived much of it—hanging out with the Abstract Expressionists who changed the course of art, jamming with Parker, Monk and Mingus who changed the course of jazz, and composing for the great Joe Papp, who changed the course of theater.

Performers include Bonnie Milner, Daniel Neely, their friends, and members of the Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra.
