Celebrating Eric Dolphy

Show description for Sunday 6/24/2012 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM



Eric Dolphy (June 20, 1928 – June 29, 1964)
 
"Study of the history of liberation struggles shows that they have generally been preceded by an upsurge of cultural manifestations, which progressively harden into an attempt, successful or not, to assert the cultural personality of the dominated people by an act of denial of the culture of the oppressor." ~ Amilcar Cabral

"The struggle between the artist and the state can best be seen in performance in general and in the battle over performance space in particular. . . . With the emergence of the state, the artist and the state become not only rivals in articulating laws, moral or formal, that regulate life in society, but also rivals in determining the manner and circumstances of their delivery." ~ Ngugi wa Thiong'o

 This afternoon, on the 5 o'clock hour, poet, playwright, novelist, Will Alexander, returns to New Day Jazz. Mr. Alexander will be premiering new works, written for Antonin Artaud. Unquestionably among the finest poets of our time, Mr. Alexander is one of the most innovative and exciting of contemporary writers.

Alejandro Muguia on Arizona & Latin America. Malcolm X on Islam, Non-violence


Show description for Sunday 5/20/2012 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM


This week, on the 5 o'clock hour, we are joined by one of the great writers of our times, a transformational figure in the development American literature over the last 40 years, Alejandro Murguia.
Also, at 4 o'clock, Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), in an excerpt from his last recorded speech. 


“People who live in California deny the past,” asserts Alejandro MurguĂ­a. In a state where “what matters is keeping up with the current trends, fads, or latest computer gizmo,” no one has “the time, energy, or desire to reflect on what happened last week, much less what happened ten years ago, or a hundred.” From this oblivion of memory, he continues, comes a false sense of history . . .
