This week’s show features the Larry McKenna Quartet, with Larry on tenor sax, Tom Lawton on piano, Dylan Taylor on bass, and Craig McIver on drums. From his “All About Jazz” profile: “One of the world’s finest jazz saxophone players, Larry McKenna is known for his gorgeous tenor sax sound, the sheer beauty of his balladry, and his fluid, bebop-inspired improvisations.”

This week’s beneficiary will be Musicopa, a non-profit that collects and supplies musical instruments for students in under-served areas. This show is sponsored by Marc Bernstein – Financial Advisor.

This concert series was originally conceived of as a live-stream only series initiated by Barry Wahrhaftig of the Hot Club of Philadelphia. The goal was to help musicians and non-players impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown. Moving the series to Awbury Arboretum allows the artists to play for live audiences. A portion of each show’s proceeds is sent to local charities, including Philabundance and Jazz Bridge so far.

Published in 1852, The Heroic Slave is a short piece of fiction written by Frederick Douglass who at the time was a fugitive slave living in Boston. This is the first piece of fiction written by Douglass. The Heroic Slave is a fictional work inspired by Madison Washington, an enslaved cook on the brig Creole, who led a rebellion on the ship by 19 slaves in November 1841. They succeeded in taking control of the ship en route from Virginia to New Orleans (in what was known as the coastwise slave trade), and ordered it sailed to Nassau in the Bahamas. A total of 135 slaves gained freedom there, as Britain had abolished slavery in 1839. It was the largest and most successful slave rebellion in United States history.

Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion is pleased to host Lorene Cary, author of The Price of a Child, for a Q & A about her ground-breaking novel set in 1855 Philadelphia.  The Price of a Child is based on the escape of Jane Johnson, a slave from North Carolina who escaped to freedom with her two sons while briefly in Philadelphia with her master and his family. Set in 1855, the novel tells the story of Ginnie Pryor, a slave from a Virginia plantation who is bought by the US Ambassador to Nicaragua. En route with her new owner to New York City, for their voyage to South America, she escapes via the Underground Railroad and works to build a new life in Philadelphia. Fernanda Eberstadt, reviewing the novel in The New York Times, commented that Cary “is a powerful storyteller, frankly sensual, mortally funny, gifted with an ear for the pounce and ragged inconsequentiality of real speech and an eye for the shifts and subterfuges by which ordinary people get by”

Attendees will receive the ZOOM sign-in information on Friday, August 28.  Cost: $6
