His 2015 performance with Herbie Hancock was one of the most recent University Musical Society performances of the past couple of years. His historic performance at Hill Auditorium during the Great Blizzard of 1978 (again with Herbie Hancock) was released as part one of “An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert.” This coming weekend, Corea partners with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to present an evening of Corea’s music at Hill Auditorium. The concert will also feature the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, another ensemble that has proven to be extremely popular among Ann Arbor audiences. This concert also marks the end of the Jazz at Lincoln Center’s first tour without Wynton Marsalis, the accomplished leader of the ensemble who is currently taking a brief hiatus to pursue other projects. “This was a good first foray into touring without Wynton,” said Jason Olaine, Director of Programming and Touring for Jazz at Lincoln Center, in an interview with The Daily. As they enter their last couple days of performances, “the band and Chick have been really happy.” Jazz at Lincoln Center is a notoriously busy organization. I interviewed Olaine as he arrived back to New York from Shanghai, and as the ensemble moved from Arizona to Chicago. With this hectic schedule, it’s easy to understand why Marsalis might have stepped away from the ensemble for a little while. “Usually our Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis tours between 13 and 18 weeks every year,” Olaine said. “Wynton scheduled a short sabbatical and our agent happens to be Chick’s agent.” While the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Chick Corea go on tour all the time, Ann Arbor is lucky to have hosted 18 previous Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra concerts and five previous Chick Corea concerts. “This concert does speak to your in-house-programming to have been able to secure this date,” Olaine said. Corea is perhaps best known today for his versatility. He has performed throughout his career with a huge number of artists, collaborating with everyone from Miles Davis to Bobby McFerrin. He has worked frequently in the past with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and is quite popular among the members of the ensemble. Last time he worked with the orchestra, “Chick had a great time and we loved it,” Olaine said. “Victor Goines has been working with Chick as co-music director,” he continued, and there has been “lots of great energy all around.” Corea and the ensemble have gone on to develop a close relationship, performing not as soloist and orchestra but as a coherent ensemble. “It’s a little bit different than coming up with a new setlist every night,” Olaine said. “Chick is such a grandmaster, and it’s been to be pretty special (to work with him).” In the past, the ensemble has collaborated with Corea to perform newer compositions. They also worked quite extensively on the music of Thelonious Monk. During this tour, however, they’re “primarily focusing on (Corea’s) music,” Olaine explained. Saturday’s performance marks the end of the tour that started in Provo, Utah on Mar. 20. Given what he has heard of the first portion of the tour, Olaine seemed confident that it will be a magical event. The Final Four basketball game on the same night recently pushed the concert back a half hour, and he predicted that this would only add to the energy of the performance. “The concert in Michigan on Saturday is gonna be a great one,” Olaine said. In their previous collaborations, “Chick has had a great time and we absolutely loved it.” As for future performances of both the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Chick Corea in Ann Arbor, Olaine was hesitant to make any promises. “When it works out next, we’ll see,” he said. As for the end of the tour, however, he predicted a great performance. Saturday’s performance will mark the end of a fantastic tour and (hopefully) the beginning of a new collaboration between artist and ensemble. “Chick has been having a great time, and our guys love Chick,” Olaine said. All in all, it promises to be another exciting evening for these two ensembles in a city that has played host to some remarkable concerts from them over the past 40 years. Chick Corea to open with electrifying performance SAMMY SUSSMAN Daily Arts Writer A breakthrough for the University’s business and fashion scenes, The Michigan Fashion Media Summit (MFMS) will be hosting their first annual conference on Apr. 13, 2018. The student-run, 40-person team is sprinting to the finish, prepping for the event’s debut, one that will transform the Ross School of Business into an impactful fashion mecca. High fashion does not even begin to describe it. Wolverines, you do not want to miss this one. The day-long conference entails a never-before-seen grouping of speakers from the fashion industry. Attendees of the event — hosted by Amy Levin, founder and executive director of the global fashion community College Fashionista — can look forward to talks from fashion industry geniuses, including Gary Sheinbaum, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger Americas, and David Cho, Director of Partnership Activation for Adidas. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of the event, the confident, savvy and, of course, highly fashionable founders of MFMS spoke of their inspiration for the creation of an event of this caliber. “What was really important to me is teaching incoming Wolverines, and also current students, about the importance of networking, and just how rewarding it is to form an event that touches every part of business through a fashion channel. That’s really why we’re filling a void, we are putting a different spin on what fashion organizations currently exist on campus,” said MFMS President, Founder and LSA senior Ali Gropper. The void that MFMS is filling has caught the attention of industry titans, such as Rachel Zoe, who has expressed immense support of the organization’s work. Truly unique to Michigan’s campus, MFMS aims to reach students in all corners of the University. “Every person who cares about what they wear, who has an interest in brands, who knows what’s cool, who knows what’s trending, who is on Instagram and scrolls … we touch every single inch of any industry through this channel of fashion but really it extends so much further than that,” said Kinesiology senior Rachel Roth, who is also the co-founder, creative director and chief marketing officer of MFMS. With an emphasis on networking and the inner workings of the fashion industry, MFMS is merging the best of both worlds to present a conference that is multi-faceted, fabulous and, above all, high- fashion. Drawing inspiration from the Michigan Sports Business Conference, MFMS brings a creative twist to the traditional business atmosphere often portrayed in the Ross School of Business. “It’s a different vibe in the two different businesses … you go into a sports office, it doesn’t matter what organization you’re working with, everyone’s in a suit and tie and it’s kind of that culture. You walk into a big fashion company, there’s no dress code. People wear whatever they want. It’s a little more relaxed. It’s more creative. It’s more fun,” said LSA senior and MFMS co-founder and chief operating officer Ryan Walker. As Apr. 13 rapidly approaches, MFMS is certainly an event you want to keep an eye on. Aiming to reach students of all career trajectories, the opportunities for involvement in both the business and fashion worlds are endless.

Michigan Fashion Media Summit a breakthrough MARGARET SHERIDAN Daily Arts Writer When my 11th grade A.P. American Literature class began reading “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison, I couldn’t have been more excited; it represented the blend of American history and contemporary voices that I loved, and I had yet to read any of Morrison’s works. I don’t want to ruin the plot for anyone who has yet to read it, so let it suffice to say that the novel tells the story of Sethe, an enslaved woman who runs away with her children from a plantation and, upon facing capture and re-enslavement, is presented with an impossible choice. It’s one she makes and sticks to. I immediately fell in love with Morrison’s writing. I had never read a book so simultaneously blunt and musical, sparse yet evocative. Yet my experience with the book, beyond my appreciation for Morrison’s talent, was shaped primarily by my shock at how Sethe’s action quickly became the most polarized topic among my grade class. I had never seen my classmates so animated over debating a person’s decision in a piece of literature, from any course. Either the mother’s choice was unequivocally wrong or it was justified, something that we could see ourselves making. I argued at the time that we couldn’t know if we would have done the same thing; part of the brilliance of “Beloved” is how Morrison keeps us at a distance from her characters, a distance I couldn’t help but feel was deepened by the fact that the majority of my class, faculty and school was white; my peers and I had grown up learning about American slavery in neat, annual units. Though I had incredible history teachers in high school, I felt that my classmates and I had never been taught how to fully grasp the weight of that piece of our history. Since then, “Beloved” has been my answer whenever people ask what my favorite book is. My reply to the follow-up question has been, from 11th grade until just this year, because it’s “the most visceral lesson in empathy a book has ever given me.” I’ve spent the past year reading and writing and talking about “Beloved” for my English thesis, and have decided it is more true to say that reading the book is a lesson in the limits of empathy. Based on the true story of Margaret Garner, no other book I have ever read has reckoned so viscerally with the limits of white access to and empathy for Black narratives, access to incomplete records of American slavery’s history, the troubled articulation of unspeakable trauma and the strive to recuperate stories that have been lost to history. Through language stripped down to only the most vital elements, moments of uninhibited love, of private intimacy, are rendered in heartbreakingly exquisite prose. The epilogue of “Beloved” may be the most beautiful and haunting piece of writing I’ve ever encountered. “Beloved” is part of why I chose to major in English and history, and part of why I’m so invested in interdisciplinary work. In “The Site of Memory,” Morrison noted that in writing “Beloved,” her job had become figuring out “how to rip that veil drawn over ‘proceedings too terrible to relate.’” I think that learning how to reckon with this veil that reminds us of experiences or parts of our history we may never fully understand is of vital importance for us as creators and consumers of art, as students and teachers, as active participants of a world in which these issues are only escalating in urgency. The first time I finished “Beloved,” I scribbled on the back page: “Reading this book feels like listening to a stethoscope pressed up against the heart of the nation.” A pretentious thing to say, perhaps, but it feels truer to me more so now than ever. My copy is heavy with fading penciled notes from high school, careful red underlining from this summer and eager highlighting from the past few weeks as I’ve tried for months to articulate what I feel to be true: For its lessons, for its warnings and its beauty, “Beloved” is one of the most important books of the past half century.
