Description: |
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. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here. |
