As part of Temple University, Intellectual Heritage Department’s, Core Futures 2021 virtual programming for March 22nd - 26th, 2021, Philadelphia Jazz Project in collaboration with our partner, PhillyCAM created a 45 minute video.

Turner, Ph.D, Steve Rowland and George Starks Ph.D and visual artists, Denise Erickson, Joe Hasenauer, Dylan Caleho, Akinseye Brown and Eric Battle.
This video project was inspired by the book, Philadelphia Jazz Stories Illustrated: Volume One which was published by the Philadelphia Jazz Project in December of 2019.
