Episode 2: Recording and Representing

In this episode, ‘Representing and Recording’, we speak to Prof. Krin Gabbard about his seminal edited collections Jazz among the Discourses and Representing Jazz. We also discuss his current thoughts on representations of jazz in the 21st century. We explore the early history of jazz in New Zealand with Dr Aleisha Ward, with particular reference to the bandleader Epi Shalfoon. Finally, Alan Munshower tells us about his ongoing research into the effects of now ubiquitous recording technology on live performance, particularly around improvised music. Books, articles, websites, movies and recordings mentioned in this episode can be found in the reference list in the free downloadable show notes.

All of the music you hear in this episode comes from Dublin’s ReDiviDer. If you would like to know more about ReDiviDer you can visit drummer/bandleader Matt Jacobson’s website.
