Joe Sealy Quartet & Jackie Richardson: Africville Suite May 3, 2013
Pick Four or More price: $35.00/$17.50

Joe Sealy and his band join with one of the country’s foremost gospel, blues and jazz singers, Jackie Richardson, for an incredible musical journey.

Africville was a small community located on the southern shore of Bedford Basin, in Halifax. The community and its dwellings were ordered destroyed, and residents evicted during the late 1960s in advance of the opening of the nearby A. Murray MacKay Bridge. The community has become an important symbol of African Nova Scotia identity and the struggle against racism.

Africville Suite tells the story of that once-vibrant community, right up to the present time where the new Seaview African United Baptist Church is in the final stages of construction.

As a pianist, Sealy has toured with Blood Sweat & Tears and performed with such artists as Joe Williams, Milt Jackson.  A dazzling performer with a powerful and supple voice, Jackie Richardson is an award-winning veteran of stage and screen, Veronica Tennant, and Timothy Findlay.
