“Glory” inspires Quiet Pride: The Elizabeth Catlett Project
Elizabeth Catlett's "Glory" inspires music. The sculptures of the late African-American artist and civil rights activist Elizabeth Catlett are the inspiration for a new jazz composition.

In his new project, called "Quiet Pride," Reid tries to convey Catlett's sculptures in sound. [1]
