Worlds Collide
Hosted by
Ted Gordon
Originally aired on
Monday, August 22nd, 2011
This episode looks at the collision/fusion/embrace between American Jazz and the established musical traditions of India and Africa. Though not without its share of orientalist and other slightly problematic implications, this early borrowing and collision had a deep impact on many musicians on both sides of the genre-meld. We’ll hear from Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry, Kadri Gopalnath, Shankar Jaikishan, Archie Shepp and more!
