Linden Frederick (b. 1953), Highwayman, 2006, oil on linen, 35 x 35 inches © Linden Frederick, As seen in this Courtesy of Forum Gallery, New York evocative show, Frederick takes us on a journey through small towns with empty streets, past trailer parks, abandoned gas stations, and small suburban homes that are illuminated by the flickering lights of television screens. The scenes roll by—if we blink we may miss them—like frames in a movie, vividly calling to mind images from other places that evoke a palpable but indescribable sense of longing, but they are gone in an instant, flashing by.

Frederick fixes our attention on what he wants us to see, giving access to otherwise intimate spaces and private world by tapping into our subconscious, merging imagination with memory. In the moments that we stand in front of his works, we see ordinary places and objects transformed into scenes of beauty.

64 J The Art of Sarah Vaughan

musi Sunday, September 20, 3–4:30 pm

| Beverly Owens, accompanied by Diane Goldsmith will 14 perform a variety of compositions made popular by Sarah Vaughan, one of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Dubbed “the Divine One” for her incredible range, Vaughan got her start by winning an amateur contest at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and went on to become a vocalist with Earl Hines and Billy Eckstine before forging her solo career. Vaughan won an Emmy, a Grammy, a star on the Hollywood Beverly Owens Walk of Fame and the National Endowment for the Arts’ Jazz Masters Fellowship, the highest honor our nation bestowed on jazz artists. This event celebrates the exhibition of photographs of jazz luminaries by Herman Leonard. Beverly Owens brings an impressive voice to bear in evoking the artistry of Sarah Vaughan. From the sultry depths of her low range to the top of her velvety soprano, she regards this program as a calling to make listeners aware of Vaughan’s extraordinary contribution to music. Owens has appeared in Carnegie Hall and Merkin Hall and has sung under Robert Shaw and Wolfgang Sawallisch. Diane Goldsmith is much in demand as a piano soloist, vocal accompanist and chamber musician. She has won praise for her recitals in Lincoln Center and her chamber music in Carnegie Recital Hall and recently appeared at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington. She has been a classical and jazz music critic and arts and entertainment editor for major newspapers.
