Aldon Lynn Nielson: A Brand New Beggar

Show description for Sunday 8/18/2013 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Joining me this afternoon, in the 5 o'clock hour (Pacific time), poet, scholar, critic, Aldon Lynn Nielson. A pre-eminent voice in the interpretation and analysis of African-American literary tradition, Nielson is, without question, one of the most rigorous and inventive authors in history to take on this complex and diverse subject. Among his many books are, Black Chant: Languages of African-American Postmodernism, Integral Music: Languages of African-American Innovation, and his most recent collection of poems, A Brand New Beggar, which we will be discussing today on New Day Jazz. Nielson blogs on the internet at Heat String Theory

A. James Arnold on Aimé Césaire's masterpiece, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (Notebook of a Return to the Native Land)

Show description for Sunday 6/30/2013 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

 Aimé Césaire, pictured at right, (June 26, 1913 – April 17, 2008)
Returning to New Day Jazz this afternoon, on the 5 o'clock hour, Professor A. James Arnold, discussing his most recent translation, in collaboration with Clayton Eshleman, of Aimé Césaire's masterpiece, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (Notebook of a Return to the Native Land.)

Aimé Césaire’s masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. This long poem was the beginning of Césaire’s quest for négritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. Commentary on Césaire’s work has often focused on its Cold War and anticolonialist rhetoric—material that Césaire only added in 1956. The original 1939 version of the poem, given here in French, and in its first English translation, reveals a work that is both spiritual and cultural in structure, tone, and thrust. This Wesleyan edition includes the original illustrations by Wifredo Lam, and an introduction, notes, and chronology by A. James Arnold.
The first bilingual edition of this radically original work
AIMÉ CÉSAIRE (1913–2008) was best known as the cocreator of the concept of négritude. CLAYTON ESHLEMAN is a professor emeritus at Eastern Michigan University and the foremost American translator of Aimé Césaire. He is the author of The Grindstone of Rapport / A Clayton Eshleman Reader and translator of The Complete Poetry of César Vallejo. A. JAMES ARNOLD is an emeritus professor of French at the University of Virginia. He is the lead editor of Césaire’s complete literary works in French (in progress) and author of Modernism and Negritude: The Poetry and Poetics of Aimé Césaire.

Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr. On The Amazing Bud Powell: Black Genius, Jazz History, and the Challenge of Bebop

Show description for Sunday 6/2/2013 @ 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Joining us this afternoon, on the 5 o'clock hour, Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., author of The Amazing Bud Powell: Black Genius, Jazz History, and the Challenge of Bebop, (new from University of California Press.)
 " (Thelonious) Monk wrote for Bud. All his music was written for Bud Powell. All this piano music, he deliberately wrote for Bud because he figured Bud was the only one who could play it. He wrote for Bud just like a composer writes for a singer. And when you hear Bud play Monk's music, then you really hear something." ~ Kenny "Klook" Clarke, Swing to Bop: An Oral History of the Transition in Jazz in the 1940's
