Abstract

This short critical-creative piece originates in an EU-funded project on heritage in improvised music festivals (CHIME). It is a supplement to other recently published research by the author exploring the relation between the touristic offer of certain British jazz festivals and their lack of engagement with the significance of their own civic setting and heritage, focused on festivals held in Georgian or Regency locations (i.e., ones with strong links to the transatlantic slave trade). It explores and metaphorizes the double bass and its transatlantic resonances. It concludes with a small provocation in the form of a manifesto, aimed primarily at jazz festival directors.

关于爵士(音乐节)和音乐非殖民化的进一步思考和宣言

这个简短的批判性创意作品源于欧盟资助的一个关于即兴音乐节遗产的项目(CHIME)。这是对作者最近发表的其他研究的补充，作者探讨了某些英国爵士音乐节的旅游服务与他们缺乏与自己的公民环境和遗产的重要性之间的关系，重点关注在格鲁吉亚或摄政时期举行的节日(即与跨大西洋奴隶贸易有密切联系的节日)。它探索和隐喻低音提琴和跨大西洋的共鸣。它以一种宣言形式的小挑衅结束，主要针对爵士音乐节的导演。

期刊介绍： Jazz Research Journal explores a range of cultural and critical views on jazz. The journal celebrates the diversity of approaches found in jazz scholarship and provides a forum for interaction and the cross-fertilisation of ideas. It is a development and extension of The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism founded in 2004 at the Leeds College of Music. The journal aims to represent a range of disciplinary perspectives on jazz, from musicology to film studies, sociology to cultural studies, and offers a platform for new thinking on jazz. In this respect, the editors particularly welcome articles that challenge traditional approaches to jazz and encourage writings that engage with jazz as a discursive practice. Jazz Research Journal publishes original and innovative research that either extends the boundaries of jazz scholarship or explores themes which are central to a critical understanding of the music, including the politics of race and gender, the shifting cultural representation of jazz, and the complexity of canon formation and dissolution. In addition to articles, the journal features a reviews section that publishes critical articles on a variety of media, including recordings, film, books, educational products and multimedia publications.
