Comments:	Over three weeks we will explore the history of Jazz via film clips and CD tracks. We will start in New Orleans with The Blues, Ragtime and Trad/Dixieland, then travel to Chicago and New York with the flourishing of Big Band Swing. We will then explore the Innovations of Bebop, Cool Jazz, Latin/Brazilian influences and progress forward via Jazz-Rock to Contemporary Jazz. Hence, we will meet such luminary geniuses as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. This course is suitable for novices, but seasoned listeners will enjoy the revision and will be encouraged to bring favourite tracks to share with the group.
