Julius Eastman - Julius Eastman Vol. 3: If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich? '2023

Tracks list

Wild Up’s Anthology engages with the complex history of Julius
Eastman’s legacy and ideas, including the titles of his work. Each person
involved in making this Anthology negotiates their position and relationship to
the n-word; thus, the word appears in several permutations throughout. We chose
to use Eastman’s given titles in the track listing to honor the
composer’s intentions. With this seven-volume project, Wild Up aims to be
part of the ongoing social, political, and artistic dialogue and the circulation
of Eastman’s work.

We are grateful for the deep and nuanced exploration of scholars, historians,
artists, and critics internationally. Our collection of resources on titling and
more, including Eastman’s own words, is available at: eastman.wildup.org.

On June 16, 2023, GRAMMY-nominated musical collective Wild Up releases Julius
Eastman Vol. 3: If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich, the
follow-up to 2021’s Julius Eastman Vol. 1: Femenine, “a
masterpiece” (The New York Times), and Julius Eastman Vol. 2: Joy Boy,
which contains the GRAMMY-nominated closing track, “Stay On It.”
Arriving once more on New Amsterdam Records, Julius Eastman Vol. 3: If
You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich is the third entry in Wild
Up’s multi-volume anthology celebrating Eastman, the late composer whose
musical vision was repeatedly dismissed during its day, but is now being
unearthed to critical acclaim.
