Our friends at Jazzwise have published Nod Knowles’ report of the 2023 conferenceon their website. “Kinch’s forthright address to the 150-plus conference delegates (a record attendance for a JPN event) focussed on the need for uncompromising truth, in the telling of the history of jazz and the history of slavery, racism and denial within jazz – in the USA and, by more than just implication, in the home nations of the JPN. Truth was essential, too, in the handling of the music amongst the complications and conflicts in today’s social and political milieu”. jazzwise.com/news/article/here-to-stay ..read more
