Abstract
In their recent book, Playing the Changes: Jazz at an African University and on the Road, Darius and Cathy Brubeck tell the story of how they set up and ran the first jazz studies degree in South Africa during the final years of the apartheid regime. In this webinar Dr Sykes will discuss the groundbreaking achievements of the Brubecks, their legacy and what we can learn from them for jazz in higher education in our own times.
