The National Jazz Museum in Harlem invites you for a special event in their Harlem Speaks series which features interviews with icons of the jazz world. Five leading music critics converge to discuss The Year in Jazz in this critics roundtable, hosted and moderated by Nate Chinen, the music critic from The New York Times. The panel, representing a diverse range of perspectives and publications such as The New York Times, NPR Music, JazzTimes, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and The Village Voice, will consist of Larry Blumenfeld, Greg Tate, Seth Colter Walls and Kevin Whitehead. Join us as they talk about the music, the artists and the moments that shaped jazz in 2013, touching on a host of issues and ideas in the process — and answer a few burning questions from the audience.
