NEW JAZZ CONCEPTIONS
Saturday 31st May
H545, Humanities Building, University of Warwick
In recent years jazz studies has attempted to move beyond the canonical view of jazz as a narrative of great performers within an American context, becoming more interdisciplinary and international in its approach. This one-day conference will bring together Warwick, Midlands and National speakers to discuss current research in jazz, share ideas about methodologies for future study, and explore the link between academics and the practice of jazz in the wider community.
Speakers: Tony Whyton, Catherine Tackley, Andrew Hodgetts, Roger Magraw, Katherine Williams, Adrian Litvinoff, Simon Barber and Vic Hobson (National Jazz Archive)
Registration is £20 for staff and £5 for undergrads and postgrads. This includes coffee, lunch and a wine reception. Booking forms should be returned to Sue Dibben before Saturday 17th May.
