William Carroll, editor of Challenges and Perils, put together this video essay/collage/homage to jazz. Give it a spin to get your Monday morning started. Here’s William’s words on the video:
“ I am pleased to announce the posting on YouTube of Jazz Lives, my new music video paying homage to our era’s most innovative music genre. The five-minute production is a tribute to jazz – its vibrancy, hybridity, open aesthetic, political progressiveness, and communal spirit. It includes photos and footage of some of the greats, spanning a century, and tasty lead work by emerging jazz guitarist Wes Carroll.”
