Scott for a dynamic portrait of dual influences. Performing music from his 2021 album, Absence, Blanchard offers a heartfelt tribute to legendary jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter with a score that showcases his frequent use of music to make powerful statements on American culture, past and present. This Philadelphia premiere is enhanced by Scott’s live curation of Gordon Parks’ iconic photography, literally showcasing his tremendous impact on social justice and humanitarianism.
