In the contemporary jazz
canon women rarely feature as
significant players in the production of jazz history: jazz is a field
of
artistic and popular production largely determined by male performers
critics
and scholars. Combining close reading and close listening this seminar
will consider
ways in which women might begin to be written into the larger jazz
narrative
both within the United States and abroad by expanding the criteria by
which
"jazz" is defined and examining the archive out of which jazz
narratives
are constructed. A portion of the seminar will focus on jazz performers
of the
twentieth century African Diaspora." Rhythmic Theories.
