JJA Event in NY with Robert Glasper

The jazz-hiphop & rap-black rock mash-up -- is there continuity among
these genres that we all ought to know about for improved
understanding of American culture, or a disconnect that keeps their
creators and audiences (and critics) at arm's legnth from each other?
These and other topics will arise when pianist Robert Glasper (pictured above and cover subject of Down Beat's May issue), journalist-musician Greg "Ironman"
Tate, and Revive Da Live producer Meghan Stabile join moderator
Howard Mandel for the next Jazz Journalists Association-produced
"Jazz Matters" panel on Wednesday, April 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the
New School Jazz and Contemporary Music performance space, fifth
floor, 55 W. 13th St., NYC.

Admission is free -- please come in you're in town, and tell your
jazz-hiphop-black rock lovin' friends --
