Daniel Seeff debuts on KJazz's fresh Thursday night program titled EXCURSIONS
Every Thursday night, tune into KJazz 88.1 for the exciting new show, EXCURSIONS, airing from 10pm to midnight. This unique programme, hosted by Daniel Seeff and AntMan Wonder, delves into the natural and conceptual connections between jazz and hip-hop.
The show aims to highlight how hip-hop's spirit and aesthetic are deeply linked to the lineage of jazz. It emphasises that hip-hop can be seen as an iteration or continuation of jazz’s creative effort and cultural expression. Through performances and discussions, EXCURSIONS bridges the two genres, showcasing their intertwined histories and shared ethos of innovation and storytelling.
Daniel Seeff, the Director of the UCLA Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, and AntMan Wonder, a renowned producer who has worked with artists like Anderson.Paak and PRyhme, lead this enlightening conversation.
