Jazz is not a What—it’s a How. This course will explore the origin, evolution, cultural context, theory, stylistic periods and influential contributors to America’s original art form. We will listen to and analyze significant recordings and watch music videos. Our goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of jazz, so you can fully enjoy listening to recordings and watching live performances.
