Keith Salley replied to the topic Hit the Road, Jack in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 6 months agoHi Ben,
I’m not quitting the Society for the same reason I’m not quitting society as a whole.

Marc Edward Hannaford replied to the topic Hit the Road, Jack in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 6 months agoFor me—and this point of view stems from asking mentors who are BIPOC in our field—is that we can help the field by participating in it more than we can through absence. I respect the act of leaving as an act of protest, but at the same time it means that many others particularly contingent, junior, and BIPOC scholars, are left to do the wor…[Read more]

Around 700 people have signed this letter. In signing, they don’t indicate whether they’re members of SMT or not, but I recognize loads and loads of names as SMT members. Could you explain why concurring with the statement leads you to quit organization?

Dustin Chau replied to the topic octatonic, whole-tone, and jazz minor flux in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Jazz Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 7 months agoHi Keith,

The phrases appear back to back in his solo…both demonstrate potential to switch collections between melodic minor (over the ii chord) and the octatonic over the V chord. (Although the…[Read more]
