As part of the Five Points Jazz Festival here in Denver, I'll be discussing the process of recognition, repetition and innovation in the work of four trios of musicians, to connect the deep tradition to the contemporary scene.

Both talks will take place in the Community Room at the Blair Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton at the FIVE POINTS JAZZ FESTIVAL on Saturday, May 22!
