EP12 - What is Jazz?
The selections for this episode are contextualized by interview excerpts from some of jazz’s greatest innovators — Sun Ra, Duke Ellington, Ornette Coleman, and Miles Davis. These clips provide a glimpse into their views on the revelatory nature of their music and begs the question – what is jazz? What themes inform its various modes of expression? Does its purpose untether it from an all too common reductive association as a genre?
