Many jazz musicians have never been afraid of speaking about issues of race or equality, both through the music and as a way to draw attention to problems in society.
A symposium at the
University of the Pacific next week will take on the topic of jazz and civil rights. We’ll talk with Grammy-winning author, educator, music journalist, and concert producer
Ashley Kahn and independent arts consultant/producer, writer and broadcaster
Willard Jenkins about how the music was - and is - perceived in the U.S. and overseas.
