Dead Air: Jazz, Breath and Ghosts

April 14, 2026
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
America/New_York
Casa Hispanica, 612 W. 116 St., New York, NY 10027 Room 201

In this collaborative talk, we consider the improvisatory practice of emplaced disembodiment known as “haunting.” What does it mean to haunt, and be haunted by, the charismatic lofts and jazz clubs of the past? How is the resolute “nowness” of musicking complicated by the unknowable histories it draws upon and the phantasmic futures it projects? What literal and figurative atmospheres blow through this music? Join us for a conversation with Ben Ratliff and J. Martin Daughtry.

 

Free and open to everyone but registration is required.
