  • MUS 209: A History of Jazz

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Miller Jazz, with a unique emphasis on artistic self-expression, has been nourished by a diversity of musical idioms (including ragtime, show tunes, brass bands, European classical music, and the blues). Shaped by brilliant innovators, whom we'll study in depth, the music has changed a great deal over a short time. Studying these changes offers a window into key aspects of U.S. social history. Through a selec-tion of recordings and readings, we will follow the progression of jazz styles and address the interplay of African, Latin, European, and American influences. In addition to considering jazz in historical and cultural context, students will learn how to distinguish among basic styles (New Orleans, swing, bebop) and will become familiar with specialized terms and concepts central to understanding the music. Prerequisite: None Distribution: Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Video or Historical Studies Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0
