Romare Bearden
A RENAISSANCE IN HARLEM
Romare Howard Bearden was an African American artist, author, and songwriter known for the important impact he had on the movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. He worked in many media, including collage, oil painting, and political cartoons.
Bearden was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, grew up in New York City and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from New York University in 1935.
He began his art career creating scenes of the American South. Later, he worked to express the lack of humanity he felt was lacking in the world after his WWII experience as a US Army sergeant fighting on the European front. He returned to Europe (Paris) in 1950 where he studied art history and philosophy at the Sorbonne.
Bearden’s early work focused on unity and cooperation within the African-American community, before moving into the more Abstract Expressionism that was dominating the art world (especially New York City) throughout the 1950s.
In the 60s, though with the emergence of Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement, Bearden moved in the opposite direction. Back to Harlem, and creating socially conscious, rough-edged, ghetto collage, much focused on the music, dance, and night life that defined Uptown New York City.
In Bearden’s 1988 obituary, The New York Times described Bearden as “the nation’s foremost collagist.”
Bearden became a founding member of the Harlem-based art group known as Spiral, formed to discuss the responsibility of the African-American artist in the civil rights movement.
He also authored or co-authored several books, and also wrote songs, including co-writing the Jazz classic “Sea Breeze,” recorded by his Peabody High School classmate, Billy Eckstine, and Dizzy Gillespie.
Bearden had long supported young, emerging artists, and he and his wife established the Bearden Foundation to continue this work.
In 1987, a year before his death, Romare Bearden was awarded the National Medal of Arts.

It would be easy for the former Tijuana Brassman and founder of A&M to just rest on his career achievements or just make music to pass the time, but instead, the 60-something trumpeter rings in with one of the year’s most remarkable jams. Alpert’s recent output has ranged from the heart of smooth jazz (Second Wind, produced by Jeff Lorber) to fiery Latin (Passion Dance), but here the muse takes him to the mystical world of studio-bred trip-hop. Working with multi-instrumentalists and producers Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish, Alpert surrounds his muted trumpet with hypnotic vibes and ambiences — some of which seem to drift into the sonic atmospheres, others bred from thick machine generated exotic percussion textures percolating over throbbing urban bass grooves. While ethereal experimentation with tons of cool studio equipment and sonic possibilities seems to be the general philosophy, he hasn’t forgotten his Latin roots. The opening track, “Libertango,” features a lighthearted horn melody drifting over a driving, ambient bass, percussion clicks, and the galloping flamenco flavors of Wimbish’s acoustic guitar, all wrapped up in a dramatic synth orchestral sweep. “Dorita” centers Bernard Fowler‘s Spanish vocals amidst a wacky swirl of pitter patter and marching percussion, spacey sound effects, exotic soundscaping, moody retro keyboards, and Alpert’s catchy, laid-back melody. Bridging past and present, Alpert approaches Burt Bachrach’s “The Look of Love” as if it were a Miles Davis/Brian Eno collaboration, his smoky horn enhanced by his wife Lani Hall‘s breathy vocals. He also covers himself with a new hip-hop shuffle arrangement of his popular early-’80s gem, “Magic Man.” Older and wiser than either Rick Braun or Chris Botti, Alpert gives the genre’s two top horn guns a powerful run for their smooth jazz money.
Eric Clapton (1975)
Some would say, Eric Clapton never sounded better than the 10 years between the late ’60s when he was in a love-sick depression and heroin addiction when playing in the late 60s when he played with the The Yardbirds and Cream, and the late ’70s when he had his alcoholic breakdown.
