Black Contributions To Men's Style
The fashion label, art house and consultancy also produces bespoke clothing, and is presenting its AW21 collection dedicated to tailoring and made-to-order styles. The zoot suit would become an illegal style to produce during World War II due to restrictions on fabrics and rationing that the U.S. government instituted in 1942 - the suit required more fabric than a traditional suit to produce. The fight and resulting visibility of the store and its stock got Fendi's attention, and the company sent its former corporate lawyer and present Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor to raid Day's business on alleged counterfeiting. Guy and Shay Wood of 5001 Flavors and Harlem Haberdashery, also produced custom ensembles in the '90s for a who's who of hip-hop royalty and late greats like Tupac Shakur and Heavy D, as well as Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe and D.J. Khaled, to name a few.

The Pervasive Force of Music in African, Caribbean, and African American Drama
Olaniyan, who calls Soyinka's play \"the most powerful evocations in contemporary African drama of a classical African ritualistic sense of space\" (52), reminds us of Soyinka's exhortation that the play Death and the King's Horseman \"can be fully realized only through an evocation of music from the abyss of transition\" (author's note). Playwright and Obie winner Paul Carter Harrison strives to mimic the style of pianist Thelonious Monk in his writing: \"IJfI could create the tension, the space, the rhythmic sensibility of Thelnious Monk in a play I will have achieved the fullest possible accomplishment in theater\" (Interview).

Cultural Dialogics and Jazz: A White Historian Signifies
An essay discusses research by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on Signifyin(g) and the practice's place in jazz. In informal black discourse, Signifyin(g) connotes a variety of ways of speaking and interacting that are characterized by irony, indirection, needling, and trickery. In approaching a most compelling variety of African-American music, writings about jazz have mainly reproduced the gestures of a white, European-American musicology. Like the canon of European music, the jazz canon is a strategy for exclusion. If, as Gates has suggested, the jazz tradition is essentially a Signifyin(g) tradition, it is also true that much of the jazz musician's Signification has played on musical works and styles from outside the jazz critics' mainstream. Jazz Signification is largely extra-canonic. An examination of reaction to Miles Davis' fusion jazz, which was outside the European canons of jazz, is included.

Chicago Tribune Howard Reich column
Maybe it was hearing Chicago gospel queen Mahalia Jackson thundering on the radio or listening to rousing hymns every Sunday morning at Holy Angels Catholic Church, on East Oakwood Boulevard, or just reveling in the joyous jazz, blues and R&B that cried out from open windows in his Bronzeville neighborhood on sweltering summer nights.
