The series illustrates the importance of jazz to Sinti and Roma communities, and also demonstrates the unique contribution of Roma and Sinti musicians to European jazz. Gabriel Condon is a DAAD scholar and doctoral student-researcher at the University of Michigan, in the United States, who conducted the interviews and will be sharing them on the RomaMoMA blog. Support is provided by ERIAC, the German Academic Exchange (DAAD), and the University of Michigan International Institute, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the School of Music Theater, and Dance EXCEL Enterprise Fund.
Together, this all-star ensemble will perform a diverse selection from both the Sinti and Roma and American jazz styles, as well as repertoire that bridge both traditions. Condon will share brief anecdotes from his research, which focuses on the intersections of Sinti and Roma jazz, identity, and culture.
Condon has been working with ERIAC this summer to coordinate their new music initiative, which in addition to this concert, features an interview series entitled, The Cultural Roots of Sinti and Roma Jazz. The series illustrates the important role of jazz as an oral tradition in Sinti and Roma communities. It also highlights Sinti and Roma teaching methods and their unique philosophical perspectives about jazz.
