On October 20, 2005 Congressman Charlie Rangel told many tales of his youth in Harlem, and how jazz intersected with his life as well as the community’s, at his alma mater, Frederick Douglass Academy. Childhood friend Arthur Barnes, jazz benefactor and senior vice president for External Affairs and Corporate Contributions at HIP Health Plans, and previous Harlem Speaks honoree and museum board member Dr. Billy Taylor joined Loren Schoenberg and co-executive director Christian McBride onstage to converse with Mr. Rangel. Dancing in the aisles commenced when Schoenberg (tenor sax), McBride (bass) and Savoy ballroom drummer Lester Jenkins played “Flying Home” to close the evening. This historic night was captured via photographs and video for the archives of the Jazz Museum in Harlem.
