Birth of the Cool Program Jazz Receives Regional Emmy Nomination

Live Jazz Emmy

In fall 2008, the Kemper Art Museum featured an exhibition titled Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury. In conjunction with the exhibition, local station HEC-TV shot a special live episode of the "I Love Jazz" program in the Museum's galleries, which has received an Emmy nomination from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Mid-America.

As reported in the blog St. Louis Jazz Notes: "Using the Museum's then-current "Birth of the Cool" exhibit as a jumping-off point, the episode explored the interactions of jazz music, art and architecture during the 1950s via an interview with Michael Murawski of the Kemper Museum and music from an ensemble led by guitarist and Wash U faculty member William Lenihan. As host, Don Wolff shares the Emmy nomination with John Baker (Producer/Director), Kim Sturm (Technical Director), Dennis Riggs (Executive Producer), Tim Gore (Producer/Co-Host) and Madeline Dames (Associate Producer)."
