What’s unique about the way fairy tales and fables have touched the arts, as compared to other forces (politics, literature, psychology, et al)? UC Davis faculty Della Davidson (who set Transformations, Anne Sexton’s poetic meditation on Grimm’s Fairy Tales to dance), Lucy Corin (whose fiction is touched by fable) and Brenda Schildgen (Co-editor, The World of Fables) discuss how the world of fairy tales and fables has touched the arts and their own work. Jeffrey Callison, of KXJZ’s Insight, will moderate.
Moderated by Jeffrey Callison, host of Insight on KXJZ. Dr. Milmon Harrison, African American & African Studies, and singer Mavis Staples consider the role of music in the 1960s Civil Rights movement.
Ravi Coltrane, the saxophonist from the Blue Note Records 70th Anniversary tour, joins Peter Williams, Artistic Director of Yoshi’s and Gary Vercelli, Jazz Music Director at KXJZ, in a panel discussion about the impact Blue Note Records has had on jazz. Moderated by Jeffrey Callison, host of Insight on KXJZ.
