7:00-8:30 pm
Jazz & Contemporary Culture:
Jazz and R&B
w/ Robert Glasper & Michael Veal
FREE TO THE PUBLIC
The blues and jazz are considered foundational to the development of most American musical genres in the 20th century, from gospel to R&B, Rock'n'Roll and even hip hop. Max Roach famously said that bebop and hip hop come from the same continuum of young black artists making something out of very little.
Yet just why and how jazz and blues is related to these forms-aesthetically, musically, culturally-reveals much about American identity, values, and the meaning and function of music historically and in contemporary times. Music also reflects, enables, and even predicts social movements. Benny Goodman integrated his band in 1936, a decade before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. Today, Kendrick Lamar in hip hop and D'Angelo in R&B have released recordings with a strong social message without compromising artistic creativity. In fact, both have a strong connection to jazz.
In a four-part fall series, curated and hosted by Greg Thomas, the National Jazz Museum in Harlem will bring top artists, scholars and critics to pursue the ties that bind blues and jazz with hip hop, rock, R&B, and European Classical music.
Ten years after making his Blue Note debut, and following two GRAMMY-winning volumes of his critically and commercially successful R&B-oriented Black Radio albums, Robert Glasper has announced a return to his acclaimed acoustic jazz trio for his new album, Covered (The Robert Glasper Trio recorded live at Capitol Studios), which will be released June 16. He'll engage in conversation with Yale scholar Michael Veal. Dr. Veal typically addresses musical topics within the cultural sphere of Africa and the African diaspora; his course, "Funk - The Re-Africanization of the American Popular Song Form" will inform tonight's discourse.
