The Motif: Re-Imagine a Jazz Sensibility
Air date: 
Sat, 12/01/2018 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm

A slow burning controversy is reignited with a generational, conflated debate: White musician morphs, masquerade, or transgressions into Black music forms. From pop dual The Righteous Brothers and their 'blue eyed soul', to Jeff Lorber's jazz fusion, and Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlanke accused of stealing from black music styles.

Tune in for comparative analysis, recordings and research.
