A Home Within Thursday, November 20, 2008 Columbia University Dodge Hall Room 622, 7:30pm Campus Map: http://www.columbia.edu/about_columbia/map/dodge.html Sathima Bea Benjamin in conversation with Professor Gwen Ansell with guest Onaje Allan Gumbs For South Africans of color under apartheid, America and its jazz scene were the site of dreams: the place where the genre was shaped and black musicians achieved national stardom. For the African-American community, Africa, as the ancestral homeland, embodies its own visions. Singer/composer Sathima Bea Benjamin grew up in Cape Town, watching movies and listening to jazz records from America. Rejecting a life under apartheid, her career took her to New York, where she now lives. In conversation with Gwen Ansell, Sathima discusses with sung and recorded illustrations the emotions and debates American music stirred among Cape Town's jazz players and the way America responds to the Africa she carries in her heart and her music. ***************************************************** The Louis Armstrong Visiting Professorship program is made possible by a generous grant to the Center for Jazz Studies from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation For more information on the Center for Jazz Studies activities, please visit our website at www.jazz.columbia.edu or call 212-851-1633. ...
