Explorations of the History of Jazz Music in 20th Century America. In this course, we will discuss the origins of Jazz music, the innovators of the style, the scenes of the music's incubation, and the interactions the music has had with broader American culture. Sample topics include the birth of Jazz in New Orleans and the Louis Armstrong story; the rise of the "big band" and bandleaders such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie; the bebop evolution and subsequent rebranding of jazz as art music; Jazz in the 50's and 60's; and the varied nature of what jazz music sounds like today. Lecturer: Alexander Clough $40 members, $50 non-members Alexander Clough is a Brooklyn-born-and-bred jazz pianist, composer, and instructor.
