& here's a 1918 photo of the Harlem Hellfighters band playing outside a Paris hospital during WW1 @Seriouslive @morethan88 via Wikimedia PD-US @libraryofcongress #jazzineurope
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 jazzinstitut.de/eurocentrism…
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) georgemckay.org/new-research…

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
Our 2020 conference in Amsterdam was due to open tonight, programme including celebrating the 10th anniversary of the @HERA_Research project. A decade of European+ jazz studies! Instead the original project team is sharing a drink & memories online #jazzreunion #rhythmchanges2021
And *we* were so looking forward to seeing you, and hearing about your current research! #rhythmchanges2021
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 😢
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 econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpe…
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 iaspm.org.uk/popular-music-a…

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! georgemckay.org/wp-content/u… @CHIMEproject @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
