Tuesday, October 17, 2023 | 7:00 pm | Dinner | National Arts Club | Guest Speaker: Paul Glenshaw on Jazz in Paris

Paul Glenshaw’s lifelong passions over several disciplines all fuel the same goal: storytelling. 

Filmmaker and Smithsonian lecturer, Paul Glenshaw will present a brief history of Jazz in Paris, based on his upcoming documentary series of the same name. Paul and co-writer and co-director Darroch Greer are creating a series that begins with the vibrant jazz scene in Paris today, and moves across the city and through time to being the exhilarating century-old legacy of the music to life. The legends are all there – Josephine Baker, Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet – as are some of the finest musicians playing in Paris today. Join as we bridge past and present in the spirit of swing. 

 

He is also a writer and producer for the theater, radio, museum exhibits, interactive media, and STEM education. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland and is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis.
