Sorry, took a class in Jazz History Giddins taught at Penn many, many years ago. His last name is quite often misspelled. Great music writer and biographer.
He's moderating an online panel discussion on Saturday as part of NYC 92Y Charlie Parker 100th Birthday celebration:
CELEBRATING BIRD—A CONVERSATION WITH MUSIC
Featuring Jazz Sax Masters Joe Lovano, Charles McPherson, Grace Kelly and Antonio Hart, and Barry Harris. Hosted by Gary Giddins
