With its listenership in steep decline, jazz legend Wynton Marsalis is looking to rebrand the genre and engineer its comeback, with the help of Professor Rohit Deshpande.
“The Nieman Foundation at Harvard University iscelebrating the centennial of the Pulitzer Prize this year with a two-day gathering (September 10 and 11) at Cambridge’s Sanders Theatre. The impressive event will include talks and performances from a selection of past winners, including Wynton Marsalis, Stan Grossfeld, and Sacha Pfeiffer. Panels on the second day will explore the theme “Power: Accountability and Abuse” “through the prize-winning work of the participants – journalists, poets, authors, playwrights, historians, musicians and other speakers.” The event is free, and no doubt will be inspiring and informative.”
Weary Blues by Charles Mingus and Leonard Feather
Perhaps no poet is more closely associated with jazz than Langston Hughes. As we noted on the blog last year, Hughes frequently collaborated with jazz musicians and was an outspoken proponent of the art form as a way to express African-American pride and culture. One of his best-known jazz projects was the 1959 album Weary Blues, inspired by Hughes’s 1925 poem “The Weary Blues.” The album features Hughes reciting his poetry over compositions by Charles Mingus and Leonard Feather. Soulful, sultry, and filled with swing, this is the quintessential merging of jazz and poetry.
Would this work for jazz venues ( where there are more than one?)
