Jazz is a highly democratic art form that is deeply concerned with participation and community, where risk, collaboration, and individual voice are all highly valued. Independent scholar and professional jazz musician Tim DuRoche will explore the literature, economics and history of jazz as well as look at how jazz as a "community of memory" can inspire us to embrace cooperation once again as an important cornerstone of our culture. This event is part of Oregon Humanities statewide Conversation Project. Free and open to the public in the lobby of the Tower Theatre.
