Context! with Ashley Kahn in de Krook
On Tuesday, 10 November, Ashley Kahn will be a guest at De Krook for a new Re:Context event.
Kahn is a renowned American jazz historian and author. He has written acclaimed books on John Coltrane and Impulse! Records. In a previous life, he worked as tour manager for Paul Simon, joining him on his legendary Graceland tour.
In his latest book, Kahn explores the story behind Graceland, Paul Simon’s seventh studio album, released in 1986. An absolute masterpiece, the album was also released against the backdrop of apartheid in South Africa. Simon faced fierce criticism for allegedly breaking the international cultural boycott through his collaboration with South African musicians.
