Wilmington, N.C. - Stanley Crouch, author, musician and jazz critic, will speak on the campus of University of North Carolina Wilmington at 7 p.m. on Feb. 22 in Cameron Hall 105. Crouch's appearance at UNCW was originally slated on Sept. 15, but Hurricane Ophelia making landfall in the area forced the postponement.
Following his talk, Crouch will sign copies of his novels Don't the Moon Look Lonesome Tonight: A Novel in Blues and Swing and Dead Man Blues for Saber Tooth. The Jerald Shynett Quartet will perform from 6:30 to 7 p.m. and continue during the signing. There is no charge for admission.
Crouch writes a bi-weekly editorial column for New York Daily News and his writings have been published in Harper's, The New York Times, The New Republic, Vogue, Downbeat, The Amsterdam News, The Partisan Review, The Reading Room and The New Yorker.
His books include Reconsidering the Souls of Black Folk, written with Playthell Benjamin, and a collection of essays on identity, The Artificial White Man. Crouch is currently writing the scripts for an eight-hour television miniseries, and he is completing Kansas City Lightning, a biography of Charlie Parker.
Co-sponsors for this event include the UNCW Office of Campus Diversity, Department of Music, Upperman African American Cultural Center and the Cape Fear Jazz Appreciation Society.
