So for my article, there already exists a wikipedia article on Asian American Jazz. However, as it exists now, it is little more than just a listing of links to other wikipedia articles on various artists. Even some of the links don't work (the article to Jordan White points to a deleted article). The links that do exist are very insubstantial (only 2 sentences on Mark Izu and a paragraph on Jon Jang). The paragraph in the article mentions the San Francisco Asian American Jazz Festival only in passing, and doesn't even provide a link.
I intend to take the current article and use it more of an outline to develop something more of it. I want to take some of the ideas presented in the articles we read in class previously and apply some analysis, rather than just a presentation of facts. I want the article to look more similar to the wikipedia article on Jazz fusion. This includes tracing the influences of Asian American Jazz, a chronology, and some text on representatives of Asian American Jazz. I also want to include information on the Asian American Jazz Festival.

specifics in terms of names, concepts, albums, etc?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check out the chapter in Speak It Louder that we read on the San Francisco Jazz Festival, and for cultural significance I think it would be important to mention the clash in ideaology between Asian Improv and the director of the San Francisco Jazz Fest.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jalisa. The festivals would be interesting to discuss.
