Please join Ars Nova Workshop (ANW) for a very special discussion celebrating the release of the new book Eternal Rhythm: Conversations and Travelations with Don Cherry.
Newly published by ANW, Eternal Rhythm: Conversations & Travelations with Don Cherry offers an intimate, free-flowing portrait of a legendary improviser and musical visionary. Drawn from priceless cassette-taped interviews gathered since 1979, the book is an unfiltered insight into the evolution and working life of a musician globally recognized as one of the most unique, innovative voices to emerge from the Sixties free-jazz movement.
To celebrate the release of this fascinating new book, ANW will convene a discussion featuring unique insight into Cherry’s life and music, his vision, influence and legacy. The discussion will be led by Paul N. Roth, a musician and scholar whose work touches jazz, popular and improvised musics, Black study, critical theory, and arts and community advocacy. Roth will be joined by bassist William Parker for what is sure to be an enlightening and wide-ranging discussion.
Organized in conjunction with The Living Temple: The World of Moki Cherry.
Paul Nicholas Roth is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, scholar, and teacher. Much of his music is released through earwash records and his writing is published by Open Access Musicology, Routledge, Indiana University Press, and others. His forthcoming dissertation from the University of California, San Diego explores dimensions of form, sound, worlding, and flow in the life-work of Don Cherry. Roth lives in New York City.
