Hot jazz, German lieder, Cha-Cha and Afro-Cuban drumming come together in Ask Your Mama by Emmy Award-winning composer Laura Karpman in collaboration with world-renowned soprano Jessye Norman and the poetry of Langston Hughes. His epic poem, ?Ask Your Mama: Twelve Moods for Jazz,? creates a compelling tapestry for orchestral music integrated with technology, sound samples and newly created video. A heady mixture of intersecting cultures, Ask Your Mama brings together the collective memories of America and the hope for its future.
