Great Courses - Elements of Jazz: From Cakewalks to Fusion
The uniquely American music and art form, jazz, is one of America's great contributions to world culture. Now you can learn the basics of jazz and its history in a course as free-flowing and original as jazz itself. Taught by Professor Bill Messenger of the Peabody Institute, the lectures in this video course are a must for music lovers. They will have you reaching deep into your own music collection and going straight out to a music store to add to it. True to its name, jazz has defied definition, category, and stagnation. And this course—in toe-tapping, finger-snapping ways—will feed your intellectual curiosity and appreciation. Classes will run on Wednesdays November 27 – January 29, excepting December 25 and January 1.
11:00 am, Bristol View 1st Floor Bowditch Room. You must RSVP to Jana Wennstrom to attend any Senior University Class. 253-752-6219 or jwennstrom@franketobeyjones.com
