Jarvis' Story Inspires Musicians to Create New Works

A song called “That Bird Has My Wings” is now a track on Canadian folk singer-songwriter Rob Lutes’ new award-nominated album Come Around. And an original score for a dance performance called “Got My Wings” by New York jazz composer and saxophonist Daniel Blake will premiere on January 22, 2022 at the Bethany Arts Community. Both pieces were inspired by Jarvis’ story and explores the nature of freedom in various musical genres.

Come Around was nominated for 4 Canadian Folk Music Awards for 2022, and the music video for "That Has My Wings” can be found here. Meanwhile, Daniel Blake’s collaborative work with ballet, contemporary, and hip hop choreographers and dancers on "Got My Wings,” is part of the Bethany Arts Community’s 2022 “Season of Justice.” More details and registration for the public Ossining (NY) event can be found here.
