Pete williams is currently working on "Weird Bodily Noises: Race, Gender, and Alternative Jazz History" in Kansas City.
When you hear the words "weird bodily noises," what do you think of? I'm sure it's nothing close to jazz music. Pete Williams is working on a project called "Weird Bodily Noises: Race, Gender, and Alternative Jazz History in Kansas City." His research focuses on jazz and improvising musicians, artists, and dancers in Kansas City whose performances challenge widespread ideas about race and gender in American society. "I'm not as interested in defining what jazz is and who a jazz musician is, but I am interested in the ways that other people do that, especially musicians," he savs.
Williams, a Ph.D candidate and graduate student in the American studies department, was inspired by Kansas Citybased jazz performer Mark Southerland's band Snuff Jazz when they performed in Lawrence three years ago. He thought Snuff Jazz was interesting and complex. The band stuck out to him because they
were different than the mainstream music he heard around Lawrence. These jazz musicians incorporate music costumes, lights, stage settings, and other aspects of performance that we don't usually associate with jazz. Williams decided to explore this type of improvised jazz that is spontaneous, interactive, skillful, and often performed in groups.
Williams' research goes deeper than just the technical elements of the music. He is interested in the connection between jazz, race and gender and whether the way jazz musicians move has anything to do with their perceived race or gender. Jazz studies often only focus on the sound of jazz music as if it were abstract, not the physical presence of a musician making the music. As part of his research, he asks musicians what it's like to play music, asks dancers what it's like to move on stage with musicians, and also observes the way they do these things.
the starters only further revealed the depth issues on this Kansas squad.
Only five Kansas players scored Wednesday, including junior guard Travis Releford, who finished with just one point. Backup forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley looked completely lost at times, combining for zero points and three turnovers.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich plans her execution during the first half of Wednesday's game against Texas. Goodrich had a record breaking 16 assists. Kansas defeated Texas with a final score of 85-61.
Robinson finished with 15 points, his third-lowest total in Big 12 play, and 11 rebounds. He was picked up by junior center Jeff Withey's career-high 25 points, but consistency has been an issue for him.
When Withey and Taylor were on their game, the Jayhawks looked like the best team in the country, and that was with Robinson on the bench. But concerns over reoccurring problems with the beginning and end of games and the team's overall depth should replace the feeling of euphoria when the Jayhawks return to practice.

she sat courtside and watched no future point guard find open players and pass the ball with ease. So Henrickson was not surprised when Goodrich, a junior guard from Tahlequah, Okla., broke the Allen Fieldhouse single-game assist record last night in Kansas' victory against Texas.

"It's exciting." Goodrich said. "I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists means that my teammates were ready to shoot."
Goodrich had nine assists in the first half on the way to 16, breaking her previous record.
Kansas entered the game looking for a Big 12 victory to get them back on track. The team faced Texas, the team they defeated to kick off conference play. The game was similar with scoring fluctuations, but most importantly, the Jayhawks won again.
The Jayhawks pulled together and defeated the Longhorns in a much needed 85-61 victory at home
play.
"Comeing off that losing streak this is a great win and gives us the confidence to go out and win another game," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Kansas shot 57.6 percent from the field and had 20 assists on 34 baskets. Sutherland, who finished with a game-high 24 points and 10 of 15 shots from the field, was one of the main recipients of Goodrich's historic assists.
"It is not even a communication, if you say something or make a cut she will see you and get the ball to you," Sutherland said.
Sutherland looked dominant in stretches scoring on multiple possessions in a row. She scored the first six and then finished with a game-high 24 points with 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.
"I thought she was really good today, got us off to a good start and hit some tough shots to start it," Henrickson said.
Goodrich matched her 16 assists with 16 points and freshman guard Asia Boyd added some surprising support.
Boyd got a chance for more court time with sophomore guard CeCe Harper on the bench with a concussion. She made the most of it with a career-high 11 points and two steals in 24 minutes.
After trading baskets for the first
couple possessions the Jayhawks jumped out to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. They built the lead to 17 points before allowing the Longhorns to cut it to four in the second half. Angel Goodrich tipped of an 18-6 run to put the Jayhawks up 20 with under eight minutes to play.
"I thought she controlled the game from the tip and once we
made our comeback she just said, 'no more', and kind of took things into her own hands, literally, and put the game back out of reach,' Texas coach Gail Goostenkens said.
Kansas will travel to Manhattan for a rematch with Kansas State at noon on Sunday.
