Doug Carn, moderated by Dr. Thomas Stanley: "Improvisation and Meaning within the Black Jazz Movement"
About this event
As part of the Home Rule Music Festival, the Home Rule Music and Film Preservation Foundation is proud to present three educational workshops with leading musicians and intellectuals involved with the Festival. Join us for our second conversation in the series as the spiritual jazz icon Doug Carn sits down for an hour long discussion with the critical theorist Dr. Thomas Stanley that will range from Doug Carn's early roots in Florida, to his work as an influential organist and producer for the Black Jazz record label, to his work today as a continuous voice in the spiritual and free jazz movements. The conversation will explore both Doug Carn's material musical history as well as the intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual underpinnings of his body of work.
A link to the zoom call will be sent to participants prior to the event; the meeting room will open 15 minutes prior to the event. All are welcome, and community questions will be welcomed at the end of the discussion, so bring your most burning questions for one of the godfathers of the spiritual jazz movement!
The event is Free and Open to the Public. Suggested donation: $20.
This event is part of the Home Rule Music Festival, a wide-ranging celebration of DC music occurring June 11, 2022 at The Parks at Walter Reed. Gates open at 3pm.
