Jazz and the Politics of Co-Creation -- A Conversation with Professor Robin Kelley

'Robin DG Kelley presents the lecture "Jazz and the Politics of Co-creation". Hosted by the University of the Western Cape’s Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) and Tshisimani Centre for Activist Education, the presentation was part of The Factory of the Arts’ Conversations, a new series of public dialogues on jazz. By examining the work of South African vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin, Ghanaian-born drummer Guy Warren, US-pianist Randy Weston and American bassist/oudist Ahmed Abdul-Malik; Kelley shows how jazz is a co-creation born out of conversations and collaborations between musicians from different places and backgrounds.' -- Flagship on Critical Thought in African Humanities
