Tuesday, March 2, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The fourth episode of our Charlie Parker Desert Island Disks listening series in 2020-2021 features selections chosen by saxophonist and vocalist Camille Thurman. This series is curated and hosted by journalist Ted Panken.
Desert Island Discs:
In the fall of 2015, the National Jazz Museum in Harlem debuted its version of Desert Island Discs. It’s modeled on an iconic BBC radio show, extant since 1942, which invites eminences from various walks of life to choose—and discuss—the eight records they would bring for a stay on the apocryphal desert island. For the Jazz Museum’s expanded version, the presenters are jazz musicians, who will present a cohort of music, of any genre, that was essential in the formation and evolution of their musical personality.
