Classic Jazz 104: Evolution of a Genre<br />
Chet Hanley continues his concise, sights-and-sounds primer<br />
on America’s musical gift to the world, Jazz. Included in the<br />
presentation is a consideration of music originating in New Orleans<br />
around the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently<br />
developing through increasingly complex styles, generally marked<br />
by intricate, propulsive rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing,<br />
improvisatory, virtuosic solos, and melodic freedom which serve<br />
to link the music to the entire realm of the performing arts.<br />
Featured will be audio and video selections, along with discussions<br />
of the music, the performers, and the literature. The following<br />
topics will be addressed:<br />
Session #1: February 1<br />
