Occasional Jazz Conjectures

ByDuRoche Tim

Occasional Jazz Conjectures is an exploration of jazz's edges and center - idiosyncratic reflections on the intersections of arts and culture; scenic detours connecting the dots between jazz and a broader landscape of mid-century politics and modernism, social history, visual culture, popular entertainment, and the avant-garde. Tim DuRoche's Conjectures are a bumper-car ride through jazz and the 20th century - careening from Bix Beiderbecke and Hart Crane to FT Marinetti, Frankie Laine and Henry Adams, Cecil Taylor and bebop, Abstract Expressionism, Cold War culture and the Beat era to meditations on the heroic impulse, love, death, revolution, and poetry.
