Listening Party Preview: Wild Up's 'Julius Eastman, Vol. 2: Joy Boy'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 20, 2022

Julius Eastman was a Black, queer composer and a fixture of downtown New York's music scene in the 1970s, who died in 1990 in relative obscurity. Beginning last year, the Los Angeles-based music collective Wild Up has attempted to honor Eastman's legacy by recording and releasing his work in a seven-part series. Members Christopher Rountree and Jiji join us to discuss the second volume, Joy Boy, for an All Of It Listening Party.
