Jerome will perform in a concert curated by Dr. Aaron Johnson at Pittsburgh University.

In support of his project “Four for Mingus,” AJ Johnson kicks off the first in a series of four concerts. These performances are dedicated to visionary musician Charles Mingus, centering on political and protest music, spirituality and self-reflection, Charles Mingus’ own expansion of the blues, and the inspiration he took from Duke Ellington. This series heavily features Dr. Johnson’s research and academic skills, creating a unique educational experience for the audience.
