We're launching the 2024 edition of the Public Song Project! Today we share the details for this year's project with producer Simon Close, and debut a contribution from Arturo O'Farrill, pianist and bandleader of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. After the song, we're joined by musicology professor Anna Celenza to dive more into the history of jazz in the 1920s.
