Art from the Elmhurst College Jazz Festival

One of the Elmhurst College Jazz Festival’s distinctive traditions is to commission an artist each year to design a commemorative album/CD cover.  As part of the Jazz Festival’s 50th anniversary celebration, the acclaimed Elmhurst Art Museum will exhibit this collection of work, as well as the Festival’s large-scale performance banners, which depict such jazz greats as Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey and Dizzy Gillespie.  The exhibition will be accompanied by a jazz soundscape of highlights from the Festival.
