Antoine Roney [Lecture] In this lecture, Antoine Roney talks about the legacy of expression of music, mainly jazz and blues, and how as a society we have lost the connection between people and the industry. He references his past experiences in Harlem during the 1960s and 70s and compares it to the community in Harlem today.
Philadelphia-born saxophonist Antoine Roney has been a distinctive voice in jazz for over four decades. After studying with Jackie McLean at the Hartt School of Music, he worked with a long line of greats including Clifford Jordan, Donald Byrd, Rashied Ali, Arthur Taylor, Freddie Hubbard, Elvin Jones, and his late brother, Wallace Roney. An accomplished bandleader with several albums to his name, he is also the father of rising jazz star Kojo Roney, who often features in his trio.

The Harlem artist, known for his 125th street storefront gate paintings spanning decades, shares his work and legacy.

This lecture was moderated by the PMCI’s PI and Co-Director Jerome Haferd in conversation with Franco Gaskin and Community Engagement Specialist Anthony Carrión.
In this lecture, Franco Gaskin reflects on his life and how the community played the role of inspiration and confidant. He reminisce on different pieces of art and tells the backstory of what it means and how it came to be.
