Howl! Panels 2008

The series of panels is a phenomenon that seems to have taken hold and provides a much needed venue for the discussion of topics that are on the artists’ minds. This forum allows our community to grow as we share our ideas and take questions and comments from a participatory audience.

Moderator: Matthew Shipp with panelists Sabir Mateen, Greg Tate, Maxine Gordon and Steve Dalachinsky

The Lower East Side has always been a major community in the art form of

jazz. With many greats like Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus living in the

neighborhood-and the list goes on and on- and clubs like slugs where Sun ra

had a long residency this neighborhood has been central to jazz perhaps

second only to Harlem. This panel discuses the ongoing importance of the

Lower East Side to the music.
