MUSICAugust 9Jazz Without BordersWhat’s jazz? What’s not jazz? The debate has been raging (well, uh, okay, mildly percolating among a small group of interested parties) since the birth of the celebrated musical form. Trumpeter Bijon Watson and singer/songwriter Niles Thomas want to weigh in with their final answer: It’s all jazz so can’t we all just get along? Questioning the idea of limiting categories and exclusive subgenres in this dynamic art form, the two launched the Jazz Republic Entertainment Group to encourage listeners and artists to ditch the labels and get back to the music. Their Jazz Republic Concert series, presented locally by KUNV 91.5 FM, showcases talent from across the jazz spectrum to promote this quintessentially American music form, whatever the style. This concert features saxophonist Tom Luer, acclaimed for his nimble versatility a welcome virtue in the Jazz Republic’s genre-bending vision of the dynamic jazz art form. (AK) Myron’s in The Smith

Some of my favorite films have been those that followed that bright-eyed, bushy-tailed feeling of first diving into the music industry, like
Almost Famous. And some of my favorite books have followed the rise and fall of fictional rock stars, like
Daisy Jones and The Six.
But unfortunately, it has still been rare to find a book that gives a refreshing new perspective on navigating the wild world of rock and roll from the eyes of a character that looks like me, which can be frustrating, because it’s not like PoC don’t exist in these spaces there’s Fefe Dobson, System of a Down, X-Ray Spex, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and so many more whose stories deserve equal merit to everyone else’s.
