MUH 238: History Of Jazz: Before 1950
3 credits
This course is a comprehensive survey of jazz styles and trends that developed before 1950, beginning with the origins of jazz, moving through Harlem stride piano, and ending with Bebop from the 1940s. Seminal figures and works in jazz during these decades will be examined through their socio-historical framework. (Distribution Reqs:Arts)
Learning Goals
Students will achieve an awareness and an appreciation for the roots, traditions, and broadly framed evolution of Jazz Music by exploring, in chronology, highlights of the recorded legacies of the primary innovators. The impact of these classic recordings on the evolution of the art, as well as the multiplicity of stylistic tendencies set in motion, will be discussed and related to, where appropriate, the socio-historical context of the era.
