This course includes all new jazz giants! Each class will focus on jazz
legends, someone who made a difference in the development of America’s original
art form. We will discuss biographical information with an emphasis on personal
stories and share examples of the music. Testimonials will also be used to help
affirm why these artists are so important in the history of jazz. This session
we will explore artists such as Hoagy Carmichael, Count
Basie Alumni Assn., Mary Lou Williams, Dave Brubeck,
and Modern Jazz Quartet.
