Black Music and Black Liberation: Free Jazz Then and Now
David Grundy
Kommentar
The music known—not unproblematically—as Free Jazz offers an opportunity to explore an extraordinarily rich of mixture of music, poetry, politics aesthetics and broader cultural questions. In this course we will explore some of those intersections, from the era of Civil Rights through to the Black Power era and into today’s world. We’ll begin with an introductory session exploring the emergence of free jazz at the turn of the 1950s/1960s. Beginning with the Ornette Coleman record that, for better or worse, gave the music its name, each week will focus on a different artist as a lens to address different aspects of the music. By the end of the 1970s, though free jazz had continued to grow, it faced the economic challenges of the rightwing Reagan era and an increasing traditionalism in the jazz world which demonized more experimental forms. Yet the music continues to survive into the 21st century. In this course we will explore how, who, when, and why this all matters. Schließen
