Tokyo Jazz: Decentering

Journey to Japan with PhD ethnomusicology student William Scally to discover the contemporary jazz scene of that nation’s capital.

Though jazz is often viewed as distinctly American, the musical genre also thrives in Tokyo. With the help of a series of musical demonstrations, recordings, and videos, PhD ethnomusicology student Willam Scally introduces the contemporary jazz scene in Japan's capital, touching on issues of access, transnational exchange, and the generation of authenticity surrounding the musical scene.
