Jazz Appreciation

Using PowerPoint along with musical content, we will take a look at the history of Jazz music, how it evolved, who practiced the art, and the audience that appreciated it from its inception at the beginning of the 20th century up to the present day. Jazz started out as a fringe art that was considered beneath the tastes of “high society” and those who appreciated “culture” (as opposed to folk and primitive art). It wasn’t considered to be “serious” music. However, over time this changed, and it has developed into what many believe to be America’s primary contribution to world culture. This course will delve into the evolution of Jazz and provide samples of the music and artists that led to its mainstream adoption.
