[iNSIDE] THE JAZZ NOTE Guest Artist Series: Jazz & Hip-Hop Hosted by Ashley Kahn

About

The confluence between these two musical styles has lasted for more than 30 years, even when many seek to keep them apart. Yet history shows a natural bond binds them, and many are the reasons: They are both branches on the tree of black American music; they both value authenticity and the power of the individual voice; they both prize improvisation, flow, swing/groove, and an acute sense of community and tradition. This presentation will look at the current connections between jazz and hip-hop, discuss why some seek to divide rather than unite the two, and the challenges and triumphs of this union. Curated by Ted Chubb, trumpeter & JAZZ HOUSE Director of Cultural Programming.
