Glen Arbor Art Association “Talk About Art” features Jeff Haas

From staff reports

Pianist/composer Jeff Haas is the next “Talk About Art” interview on April 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Glen Arbor Art Association (GAAA), 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.

Haas, a Traverse City resident, has spent his adult life making music work. He’s a classically trained pianist who has become the voice of jazz and blues in this region thanks to his long-running public radio program “The New Jazz Archive”, a weekly series that explores jazz’s place in the American story. His discography is long, and rich with collaborative partnerships, among them Marcus Belgrave and Laurie Sears. Haas will talk about a musicmaking and the ways in which he is using music-in-schools to bridge the gaps that lead to bullying and bias.

Talk About Art is a series of conversational interviews with regional artmakers. It is a winter project of the GAAA and focuses on creative practice, process and making as experienced by a range of visual and performing artists and craftspeople.
