Check out the new issue of Jazz and Culture!

[Illinois Press @IllinoisPress]

In "Playing Changes" @PantheonBooks, Nate Chinen observes that many narratives of jazz history present the music as a linear trajectory of progress, from its roots to canonization as a high art. @SuperlinkJ12 reviews in @culture_jazz 8.2. @MichaelCHeller

This is devastating news. We’ve lost a legend :/

[Snarky Puppy @RealSnarkyPuppy]

Yesterday, we lost a music legend and, more importantly, a beautiful, luminous human being. Shaun Martin touched so many people during his life and through the beautiful immortality of music, will continue to do so. There’s so much that can be said but words can’t do justice. RIP

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

Indiana University is hosting what I believe is the first-ever academic conference entirely dedicated to Taylor Swift. PhDs, grad students, and Swifties, submit a proposal!

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@RachelGainMusic The publishing process continues to amaze me

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@RachelGainMusic Okay “Bros” may be wilder but it’s still wild

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@RachelGainMusic “Up” may be the wildest. She’s in there like 5 minutes.

Got one of those gimmick printed hurdy gurdys that you gotta put together 😂 I’m no good at it, and I messed up a bit on the drone string, but the mechanics are there. It even came with rosin, despite using fishing line strings. Still, it was a fun project to do! hard to turn tho

@RachelGainMusic

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@RachelGainMusic Y’all should start working on music facts tbh. Then there wouldn’t be as much theory. 😂

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

Does everyone’s holiday visits start with an hour long tech review or just me?

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

All I’m saying is that the internet should know by now that when I type in “UNT catalog” I never mean the course catalog, only the library. Yes, it’s my fault, but if AI is gonna take over the world someday, I at least want SOME benefits.

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@musicillogical Still in awe I’m a part of this honestly. Thanks for the opportunity!

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

This was such an amazing experience!

[UNT GAMuT @untgamut]

Many thanks to the UNT Library and @UNTMusicLibrary departments for giving our GAMuT members a tour of both wonderful Special Collections! We had such a blast and enjoyed exploring the materials deep in our own archives.

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

@natechinen It’ll be a bit, but I will!

[Jacob Collins @SuperlinkJ12]

Yeah I’m working on a conference/journal paper so extremely close to this. Glad to see I’m not crazy.
