...mammoth film and music industry conference, and hit the Paradise in Boston March 26. The British band played a string of shows exclusively in the U.S. to promote the re-release of their 1980 masterpiece Underwater Moonlight. As anyone who’s heard the album can attest, the British band’s melodious, jangling assault produces thrills that could only be explosive live.

As the letters between him and Hughes attest, Van Vechten seemed genuinely enamored with the black culture thriving Uptown. Nevertheless, this same man outraged many in the black intellegentsia when wrote a work entitled Nigger Heaven, a provocatively named, mediocre book that contained depictions many critics found offensive.
