Shameless Self-Promotion

My article on the cultural politics of jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, "The World According to Marsalis: Difference and Sameness in Wynton Marsalis's From the Plantation to the Penitentiary" has just been published in the most recent issue of the Journal of Popular Music Studies. I'm posting here a few links that may be of interest to anyone reading the article.

This is the first (and title) track for the album, "From the Plantation to the Penitentiary." The image on the video is the album cover by artist Jessica Benjamin. It's titled Rapper (Tragedy).





I talk mostly about two other songs from the album in my article. Here's the first, "Supercapitalism."





Here's the second one, and the one that I focus the most on: "Where Y'All At?" (My apologies for the business card ad that forms the image for this--but it's the music that's important here, anyway.)





Most of the images that are used in the album liner notes can be found on Jessica Benjamin's website.
