In WW1 Harlem Hellfighters band (369th Regiment) fought in Europe & helped introduce black 'jazz' as a sound of liberation to Europe. Jason Moran's @morethan88 Hellfighters project, originally co-commissioned by the late John Cumming, livestreamed free from Carnegie Hall 23 April

This looks a great and FREE series of concerts from @Seriouslive, well worth overcoming any stream-fatigue for. Esp want to see @morethan88 Harlem Hellfighters project

Some Rhythm Changers will be interested in this call for papers for a conference from our friends at Jazzinstitut Darmstadt, Oct 2021. 'From the New World? Eurocentrism in Jazz' is the theme https://t.co/ny8g1LpT28

[Rhythm Changes @rhythmchanges]

This looks like a timely new research project by Original Rhythm Changer @george_mckay exploring living archives, digital interfaces and creativity in making new music / performance / art

Read here about a short new @EIRA_eARC funded collaborative research project with @BrittenPears featuring postdoc Dr Ross Cole (also, a little background reading for me on Snape Maltings & Aldeburgh Festival) https://t.co/3AWKBqNeXb

Wonderful to catch up with the original team of Rhythm Changers to celebrate our 10th anniversary, inc. @TonyWhyton @dubber @george_mckay @wvandeleur @nickgebhardt66 @sykes_tom @PetterFadnes @HERA_Research

[Dr Aleisha Ward @nzjazzhistory]

In things lost to the pandemic- I should have been jetting out to Amsterdam for my first @rhythmchanges conference. I was really looking forward to that, to seeing Amsterdam for the first time and catching up with my dear northern hemisphere friends 😢

[Rhythm Changes @rhythmchanges]

For 2020 Musica Popular em Revista/Popular Music in Review has two themes, one being musical improvisation. We think some Rhythm Changers will be interested in this call https://t.co/7Qfyuu1dby

[Rhythm Changes @rhythmchanges]

We think this call for contributions to a special issue of Popular Music & Society on Jazz Diasporas will be of interest to some rhythm changers out there https://t.co/4dBCiqaroe

Dear UK jazz festival directors, though I sent most of you a copy of this article when it was published 18 months ago, now seems like it might be a good time to (re-)read it. Would love to talk! It's a FREE download! https://t.co/EMbWGjaZB2 @CHIMEproject @rhythmchanges

[Rhythm Changes @rhythmchanges]

Congratulations to our very own @PetterFadnes on the publication of his 1st book Jazz on the Line. His Twitter bio says 'ice cool guardian of the Nordic tone'. Unarguable! Part of the @Arts_Routledge series Transnational Studies in Jazz, series eds. @TonyWhyton & @nickgebhardt66

[George McKay @george_mckay]

A few viewers of last week's @europejazznet webinar where I talked about jazz, health, epidemics, got in touch afterwards about it. So here is a link to #openaccess (free) copy of my 2019 Routledge Companion chapter 'Jazz & disability' #furtherreading https://t.co/BysAvaI2Db
