This is for the beginner. Truly appreciating Jazz goes beyond just listening to the music. We propose to cover the elements of jazz, including improvisation, harmony and instrumentation. We'll look at the history of jazz and examine the contributions of the legendary masters and innovators. We'll provide pointers to good jazz albums, radio programs, local jazz clubs, and the current scene. This will be done through a combination of lectures, audio/video clips and live demonstrations by one or two jazz musicians.
