A Panel Discussion on Edmund Thornton Jenkins’ legacy with Tuffus Zimbabwe and Dr. Karen Chandler
Tuffus Zimbabwe is not only a renowned musician and fellow Charlestonian, but he’s also the keyboardist for Saturday Night Live and the great-nephew of composer Edmund Thornton Jenkins. Edmund was an American composer during the Harlem Renaissance spending most of his life abroad studying at the Royal Academy of Music after arriving in England by way of playing/directing the band of his father’s Jenkins Orphanage. Tuffus restored, edited, and arranged Edmund's music from handwritten manuscripts into printed score.
