On March 6th at ArtHouse in College Park, Hart Guonjian-Pettit and his ensemble of fellow musicians pay homage to Art Blakey and his legendary band through a performance of selections from the group's standard repertoire. The group will perform compositions by Cedar Walton, Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk among others.
