Opening Reception for “Jazz KC: Portraits by Dan White”

04/11/2025

This Crescendo project for UMKC was one of my favorites. I love working with great creative concepts, and this one came from John Harrington. He said I have a fun project if you want to take a look. I instantly fell in love with his pencil sketch drawing of a child holding the Kaufman Center for Performing Arts up to his ear, similar to a shell. I remember telling him it had been a long time since I has seen this strong of a concept.
He said want to go with me to sell the idea. I said this was a new low. "I have to help sell a pro-bono idea I'm doing for zero pay". We fought and managed to keep the concept, with only one small change to make it a student from the Conservatory of Music instead of the child. We chose this woman.
That meeting is where I met Vice Chancellor Anne Spenner. I can’t remember how many successful projects we worked on together after this one. These visuals we created helped promote the students alongside professional musicians, as they perform one night in the incredible Kaufman Center. These events were not only for fundraising, but to give the students a chance to literally get out on the big stage. The events are truly a gem of Kansas City promoting music and the arts.
To execute the idea, I moulded a clay Kaufman model for the subject’s fingers to match up with the real building in miniature. It helped convey the object in her hand was three dimensional. I photographed the Flint Hills background and shot her image in the studio with a flowing scarf in motion. Having her eyes closed and listening carefully to the sound of music coming from the conch shell. The feeling was serenity and calm. To complete the assemblage I photographed the Kaufman building at sunset and Mike McCorkle did his photo-shop magic. Thanks John for such a cool project.
