Scott Fields Ensemble – PEKAR

In the organizer's words:

Harvey Pekar was an icon of American underground comics. His American Splendor series tells the story of his life as a file clerk and record collector with dry humor. With changing illustrators, he created over a thousand pages of comic art, which were honored with the award-winning film "American Splendor" in 2003. Guitarist and composer Scott Fields got to know Pekar as a jazz critic. Now Fields and his ensemble are bringing a tribute to Pekar's work to the stage - a mixture of sound and image that allows his style to be experienced in a new way.
